Medina

The ideal blend of rural character and upscale suburban living — spacious estates, rolling terrain, and top-rated schools just 20 miles west of Minneapolis.

Medina offers something increasingly rare in the western metro: true elbow room. Generous lot sizes, custom-built estates, and a peaceful rural atmosphere define this community. Located along Highway 55, Medina has grown from its agricultural roots into one of the most desirable addresses for buyers seeking privacy, land, and luxury without sacrificing access to the city.

  • Homes predominantly on larger lots — many 2 to 10+ acres with wooded views, rolling hills, ponds, and natural preserves.
  • Served by multiple top-rated school districts: Wayzata (ranked #1 in Minnesota by Niche), Orono, Rockford, and Delano.
  • Notable neighborhoods include Wild Meadows, Medina Highlands, The Enclave, and Bridgewater at Lake Medina.
  • Baker Park Reserve — 2,700+ acres featuring Lake Independence, a swimming beach, miles of paved trails, and the Baker National Golf Course.
  • Home to the Hamel Rodeo, Minnesota's largest professional rodeo, held annually each summer.
  • Price range broadly spans $600,000 to $4M+ depending on acreage and finishes — one of the highest value markets in the western suburbs.
  • Brian Benson resides in Medina and has deep firsthand knowledge of the community, its neighborhoods, and its development landscape.
  • 20 miles west of Minneapolis with easy Highway 55 access.
