Life in Hilldale
It is bordered on the north by Edina’s border with St. Louis Park, on the east by Todd Park and the Todd Park neighborhood, on the south by Interlachen Blvd, and on the west by the Rolling Green neighborhood.
Hilldale is by no means a large neighborhood, as its 67 homes were built in the 1940’s and 50’s and are mostly two-story splits. There are several spectacular, luxury homes on property spaces that are usually half an acre in size, and there are even some lots that are more than an acre, a characteristic that is rare for the city of Edina. No one really knows why this neighborhood was named Hilldale, especially since there aren’t very many hills. Nevertheless, this neighborhood continues to be a very coveted and beautiful place in which to live. Meadowbrook Lake to the north adds great scenic beauty to the lifestyle found within the Hilldale neighborhood.
Residents of the Interlachen Park Neighborhood are served by Independent School District 273 also known as Edina Public Schools. Edina Public Schools is a nationally recognized district serving 8,500 students and is dedicated to providing the best educational experience for each students. The closest school to the neighborhood is Highlands Elementary School. Highlands Elementary is one of six elementary schools in the district and specialized in offering a Continuous Progress and Discovery Program. Highlands serves serves 580 students and has a student/teacher ratio of 16.2. Other schools in the area include South View Middle School, Concord Elementary School, Valley View Middle School, and Edina High School.
What buyers check before they tour
- Age and updates: Ask when the roof, windows, furnace and water heater were last replaced, and plan a thorough inspection.
- Association: If there’s an HOA, review the fees, what they cover and the reserves before you write an offer.
- Schools: Confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district, since boundaries can change.
