Elegant, Active, Water-Focused
Read the transcript
Lynnhurst is understated. You won't see flashy Instagram homes here—what you'll see are properties set back from the street, lots that are wider than average, and price tags that reflect all of it. This is Bde Maka Ska territory. The trails connect you to the entire Chain of Lakes and honestly? The creek trails are better than the lakes. (There... I said it.) One thing you need to know: the creek floods. I always check the FEMA maps before I let a client fall in love with a house on the water. Lynnhurst is for people who know exactly what they want and don't need to announce it.
If you love Minnehaha Creek, this is your spot. Lynnhurst feels grander than other neighborhoods. The homes are set back further, the lots are wider, and the price tag reflects that.
