West Calhoun Homes for Sale
Welcome to West Calhoun
If you want your dream home to feature a splendid location that’s convenient for commuting and recreation and beautiful surroundings, consider homes for sale in West Calhoun. The West Calhoun neighborhood is located in Southwest Minneapolis within the borders of 31st and 36th Street and between France Avenue and Bde Maka Ska Parkway and borders Cedar-Isles-Dean, The Triangle, and Linden Hills.
The neighborhood itself is smaller than many of the surrounding areas, and much of the land is a part of The Minikahda Club with it’s sprawling golf course and tennis courts. With a population of 1,721, residential areas in the neighborhood are primarily between 31st and 32nd streets and surrounding Zenith Avenue and Bde Maka Ska Parkway. These areas offer a mix of spacious, estate-style homes with sprawling lawns, older bungalows and traditional homes that have been carefully restored and updated, and more modern condos featuring stunning views of Bde Maka Ska and Downtown Minneapolis.
Recreation & Amenities Around West Calhoun
One of the biggest draws to West Calhoun real estate is the proximity to Bde Maka Ska. Located just a few blocks (or less, in some cases) from the shores, residents can easily walk to the beach, stroll around the green spaces, and enjoy all the lake has to offer, including boating, fishing, walking and biking paths, and so much more.
Just south of Bde Maka Ska is Lake Harriet which not only offers beach spaces, boating, and walking paths, too, it’s also home to the Bandshell Park. This scenic space offers a great place for live music and holds free concerts throughout the summer.
