Life in Promenade
The promenade itself, from which the neighborhood derived its name, is a wide pedestrian path linking the residents of the Centennial Lakes neighborhood to the shopping district of both the Promenade and Southdale neighborhoods.
The Promenade Trail will soon become part of the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail scheduled for completion in 2017. The trails will attach much of Edina and Richfield to the Promenade and Centennial Lakes neighborhoods as well as offer convenient access to the Southdale Library and many retail stores. Edina is continuing the project with the cities of Richfield, Minnetonka, and Hopkins, under the management of the Three Rivers Park District. Of the homes in the neighborhood, most are in the styles of condos that were built in the 1970’s and 80’s. Promenade is the neighborhood with the fewest parcels of land in Edina according to Hennepin County property records.

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.
