A townhome community of 328 homes on 28 wooded acres near Shady Oak Lake. Westbrook is one of the most affordable ways to own in Hopkins.
Westbrook is a townhome community in southern Hopkins, between Shady Oak Lake and 7th Avenue. Its 328 homes were built in 1973 on 28 acres with mature trees.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Central Park, Shady Oak Beach and downtown Hopkins, with a cinema, the Stages Theatre, restaurants, the library, a market and a hardware store, are close. Meadowbrook Golf Course, the Shoppes at Knollwood, Big Willow Park and Ridgedale Center are short drives. See Hopkins parks and trails and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Westbrook is served by Hopkins Public Schools (ISD 270). Nearby schools include Eisenhower Elementary, L.H. Tanglen Elementary, Alice Smith Elementary, Hopkins West Junior High and Hopkins High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Association: Ask for the association documents, current dues, what they cover, the reserve fund and any planned assessments. A good townhome is also a good association.
- 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.
