I am sitting here on a Friday afternoon (approaching evening), thinking about a weekend drive on the Parkway. Every month or two I like to take a cruise around the lakes in Minneapolis. Most of the visitors to LakePlace.com are dreaming of big pines and resident loons…but more and more visitors to LakePlace.com are searching for lake homes inside the Twin Cities metro area. It is actually our #3 most visited section (behind Brainerd & Hayward). So, if you are planning to relocate to the Twin Cities and you are unfamiliar with the area…here is a list of lakes (all connected by a parkway) that are smack dab in the middle of the city…I am going to give these to you via my “Parkway Cruise Route” – Lake Nakomis (I lived on Lake Nakomis before I got married), Lake Harriet, Lake Calhoun, & Lake of the Isles. There are a couple more lakes in the city (Lake Hiawatha & Cedar lake), but this is my parkway cruise route. Once I make a complete loop around Lake of the Isles, I like to take a hard left and head Uptown. This is the point where I ask my wife to decide between Famous Dave’s or Chino Latino. Either one works for me. Have a great weekend!
I received an email telling me that I should have included “Greater Twin Cities” lakes as well – a few of them are Forest Lake, White Bear Lake, Lake Minnetonka, Prior Lake, Medicine Lake, and there are many more – just check out all of the Twin Cities lake homes on LakePlace.com. All of these are within the Twin Cities Metro Area.
