Life in Dewey Hill

It is bordered on the north by Dewey Hill Road, on the east by Cahill Road, on the south by 494, and on the west by Braemar Golf Course. This residential neighborhood was built predominantly during the 60’s and 70’s, with several townhomes, condo and apartment complexes on its eastern section.

Dewey Hill is an excellent and affluent neighborhood with amazing natural beauty. The center of the neighborhood is mostly water, which is the source of much of the neighborhood’s beautiful scenery. The chief beauty, however, is the nearby Braemar Hills golf course, which provides stunning views that even those who do not enjoy golf would find hard not to appreciate. Dewey Hill has 260 homes that are mostly two-story and luxurious. The lots are spacious for a suburb, and the landscape is lovely, with lots of older trees along curving roads. The actual Dewey Hill lies at the top of Claredon Drive and officially lies in the Prospect Knolls neighborhood. The hill was originally named for its historic owner, Mr. Dewey.

With so much natural beauty, residents enjoy some of the finest and most scenic living in Edina. Between the water, golf course, winding streets and mature trees, the Dewey Hill offers more than just suburban living; it offers a lifestyle of comfort and tranquility.

What buyers check before they tour

  • 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.
