Just under two hundred homes along the north shore of Bush Lake, south of 86th Street. Walton Pond is lake-adjacent and a few minutes from Eden Prairie Center.
Walton Pond is in west Bloomington, on the north shore of Bush Lake south of 86th Street. It has just under 200 single-family homes, mostly two-story homes and split-levels.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Hyland Lake Park Reserve to the east and Bush Lake Park to the south offer kayaking, boating, a beach, swimming and skiing. Eden Prairie Center, just west across Highway 169, has department stores, restaurants and a movie theater. See Bloomington parks, trails and beaches and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Walton Pond is served by Bloomington Public Schools (ISD 271). Nearby schools include Ridgeview Elementary, Normandale Hills Elementary, Olson Elementary, Olson Middle School and Thomas Jefferson High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Shoreline: For lakeshore homes, ask about dock rights, shoreline rules and any permits for past changes to the shore.
- 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.
