Living in Excelsior, MN: Homes for Sale and Local Guide

Excelsior is a small, walkable lake town on the south shore of Lake Minnetonka, about 15 miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis via Highway 7. Founded in 1853, it is one of the oldest communities on the lake, and its historic commercial district along Water Street is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many of the homes near downtown date to the Victorian era, and the city works to preserve that character.

Water Street is the heart of town: independent shops, restaurants, coffee and the Excelsior Dock theater, all a short walk from the lake. In summer, the restored steamboat Minnehaha carries passengers across the lake, and the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail runs right through downtown for biking and walking.

The Excelsior Commons

Set aside by the town's founders in the 1850s as a public pleasure ground, the Commons is a lakefront park with a swimming beach, playground, tennis courts, ball fields and room for picnics and summer concerts. The Port of Excelsior next door is where many boaters tie up for an afternoon in town.

Excelsior market snapshot (November 2026): about 50 homes, townhomes and condos are listed with an Excelsior mailing address, priced from roughly $335,000 to $6 million. That range runs from older in-town homes and townhomes to Lake Minnetonka estates, averaging close to $480 per finished square foot. Figures change daily and are not a guarantee.

A note on Excelsior addresses

The city of Excelsior itself is under a square mile. Many homes with an Excelsior mailing address (ZIP 55331) actually sit in neighboring Shorewood, Greenwood, Tonka Bay, Deephaven or Minnetrista, which affects property taxes, city services and schools. The listings below include that wider Excelsior-address area. I'm happy to sort out exactly which city and school district a home is in.

Schools

Excelsior is served by Minnetonka Public Schools. Homes in the surrounding Excelsior-address area may fall in Minnetonka or neighboring districts, so check the district's boundary locator for any specific address.

Custom built in 2022 by Gonyea Homes, this property occupies one of the most coveted positions on Halstead Bay on Lake Minnetonka, a private end-lot bordered by a natural wetland buffer and a seasonal stream. The home was deliberately oriented to frame the water views while naturally separating itself from its single neighbor. Getting to your HOA-maintained dock slip is half the fun via a quick walk or golf cart ride; the cart is included in the sale. Inside, the home lives as beautifully as it looks. Five bedrooms, each with a private bath. A wet bar with wine fridge, dishwasher, and ice maker that makes entertaining feel effortless. An indoor sauna for the days you don't want to leave. The exercise room is thoughtfully equipped with an extra washer and dryer; so coming in from the pool, hot tub, or sauna never means tracking through the rest of the home. The backyard is an oasis that most only imagine; an in-ground saltwater pool with a fireplace feature, a saltwater hot tub, a standalone gas fire pit, and a built-in outdoor kitchen with ample counter space, all designed to make the outdoors feel like a natural extension of the home. The in-ground sprinkler system keeps everything looking exactly as it should. Patio furniture included. Woodland Cove is a lifestyle as much as a location. Two clubhouses, a community pool, and miles of walking trails winding through the neighborhood create a sense of place that extends well beyond your own lot.

Every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating a home that is as comfortable as it is architecturally significant. At the center of the home, nearly 30 feet of glass doors open to a private bluestone courtyard featuring a heated pool, wood-burning fireplace and beautifully landscaped gathering spaces that become a natural extension of the interior. Designed for casual living and entertaining, the chef's kitchen features dual islands, soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry, premium appliances and an exceptional butler's pantry. The main level offers a private primary suite, office and family room, while the walkout lower level includes three additional bedrooms, recreation spaces, wine cellar, study and steam shower. A custom five-basin waterfall, positioned to be heard from the primary suite and study, walking paths through preserved woodlands, and a screened gazebo create an atmosphere more reminiscent of a mountain retreat than a home just blocks from Lake Minnetonka and downtown Excelsior. Rarely does a home combine this level of craftsmanship, privacy and connection to nature.
