About a hundred ranches, bungalows and split-levels between Highway 169 and Baker Road. Presidents North is established, welcoming and close to Knollwood.
Presidents North is in Hopkins, bounded by Highway 169, Highway 7, Baker Road and Excelsior Boulevard. It has around 100 homes, including ranches, bungalows and split-levels.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
The Shoppes at Knollwood has a grocery store, retail and restaurants, with a Target just west. Central Park, Alden Park, Van Valkenburg Park, Interlachen and downtown Hopkins’ restaurants and movie theater are close. See Hopkins parks and trails and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Presidents North is served by Hopkins Public Schools (ISD 270). Nearby schools include Alice Smith Elementary, L.H. Tanglen Elementary, Hopkins West Junior High, Hopkins North Junior High, Hopkins High School and The Blake School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Older homes: In an established neighborhood, ask about the age of the roof, windows, electrical and sewer line, and budget for updates where needed.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
