Our City
Once you’re here, you won’t ever want to leave. Named the #1 Best Place to Live in the United States in 2010 by Money Magazine, Eden Prairie offers something for everyone, including residents and work commuters. Located just southwest of downtown Minneapolis, Eden Prairie is one of the most prosperous suburbs in the Twin Cities metro area.
As Minnesotan's we enjoy all four seasons during the year (yes, even winter). Contrary to the rest of the country’s belief – winter here brings new adventures and activities that no Florida or Arizona resident can experience outside the door. Of course, we don’t mind putting away our winter gloves and hitting the lakes in the summer either. No matter the season, Minneapolis residents are always active, with more tennis courts, baseball diamonds golf courses and lakes per capita than in most cities. This is why the American College of Sports Medicine named Minneapolis-St. Paul the healthiest city in the nation in 2011. With lower-than-average health problems and a high amount of park land, the community is active and vibrant.
We like to live by the old motto, ‘Work hard. Play hard.’ And it has seemed to pay off. Named the #1 Most Relaxed City in America, Minneapolis proves that a little R&R is never a bad thing.
We hate to steal all these coveted #1 spots, but hey, can you blame us for bragging? Once you’re here, you’ll know why residents are loyal to the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
