Our Take

Edina is a solid commuter town with a reasonable home price and close proximity to Minneapolis, but it’s very car‑dependent and the rent is on the high side relative to median income. The neighborhood offers decent schools and a quiet feel, yet the walkability and public transit options are limited. If you’re okay with owning a car and don’t mind a slightly higher cost of living, it’s worth a look.
