Morningside Homes for Sale
Welcome to the Morningside Community in Edina, MN
Once considered an old streetcar suburb of Edina, Morningside is a distinctive community in the greater Minneapolis area. Although this community was once a separate village, it is now incorporated into a geographically and architecturally distinct neighborhood within Edina.
A Rich History in Morningside
This community, which is located along the old Como-Harriet Streetcar Line, was developed in the early 1900s. Between 1905 and 1936, the community saw a lot of development, with builders constructing several hundred new single-family homes, including space-saving bungalows, to keep up with demand.
Around 1920, residents here voted to secede from Edina and form their own village. The community remained a separate village until 1966, when it reincorporated into the larger city of Edina in response to state encouragement. But despite re-incorporating, Morningside still has a distinct character from the rest of Edina.
What It’s Like to Live in Morningside

For instance, the Morningside Babysitting Cooperative has existed for almost 100 years and still tracks shared hours of childcare among its members.
Meanwhile, the Morningside Woman’s Club is active as well, having been previously known as the Morningside Literary Club. There’s also a Morningside men’s group as well, known as the Morningside Athletic Club.
