Our Take
Maple Grove offers solid incomes, good schools, and a short drive into Minneapolis, but it lacks walkability, nightlife, and public transit options. It’s a solid choice for families or commuters who rely on a car, but if you need a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly community, you’ll be disappointed.
