Top Schools Homes in Edina

Edina Public Schools are the reason half the buyers in Edina are in Edina. That's not an exaggeration — survey the buyers and schools come back number one, every time. Edina High School ranks top-five statewide. Highlands Elementary and Countryside Elementary feed into it. The premium is $100K-$150K over comparable homes in Richfield or Bloomington across the border. Buyers pay it and don't flinch because the test scores, college placement rates, and peer group back it up. Whether that's worth six figures is a personal question with a predictable answer.

Top Schools Homes in Edina — Common Questions

How do Edina schools compare to other Twin Cities districts?
Edina schools consistently rank in the top 15% of Minnesota districts based on proficiency scores, college readiness, and student-to-teacher ratios. The differentiator for homebuyers: attendance boundaries. Homes in certain Edina elementary zones sell for 10-18% more than identical homes a half-mile away in a different boundary. Always verify the assigned school before making an offer.
Is it worth paying a premium for a Edina home in a top school zone?
If you have school-age children and plan to stay 5+ years, the premium pays for itself through avoided private school tuition ($12,000-25,000/year) and stronger resale value. If your kids are pre-school age, be cautious — attendance boundaries shift. We map every listing against current AND proposed boundary changes so you don't get surprised.
