Those who come to Minnesota looking for quiet, small town charm within reach of big- city excitement and opportunity will eventually make their way to the Maple Grove.

All the attention it attracts has done wonders for its businesses and overall quality of living without compromising its relaxed atmosphere and safety.
Accessibility is one of the biggest benefits of living in Maple Grove. It’s not just about its connectivity with the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area either. Maple Grove has sprawling series of walking and biking paths that continues to grow every year, That means everything you want to do in town—visit bustling downtown, take in music, a show in the outdoor theater, visit one of the sports complexes, or more—it is as easy to reach on foot as it is in a car (and in some cases, it’s actually easier).
Meanwhile, the housing situation in Maple Grove is great, with a variety of styles and sizes available to buyers. Eighty-five percent of residents choose to own homes rather than rent, a decision no doubt made easier by the median household income that sits at nearly double the national average.
