Creekside in Edina

Creekside in Edina was built in 2007 and stands out as a senior community for people aged 55 and over who want both comfort and an active lifestyle, so you get plenty of common spaces like gardens, patios, and nice views of Nine Mile Creek where you can sit and enjoy a bit of quiet, and the place is set up with plenty of amenities including a heated indoor pool, spa, sauna, a fitness center with modern equipment, a movie theater, a club room, pub, library, workshop, Virtual Golf, car wash bay, and even a business center for those who like to stay busy, plus there's a vibrant environment where community programs happen often and there's even a golf simulator and guest suites if you need them. There's a mixture of one, two, and three-bedroom condos here, with layouts that often include in-unit laundry, large kitchens with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, private screened porches or decks, forced air heating, central air, walk-in closets, and both full and half baths-units sometimes have handy features like a turn-key condo near the elevator bank in the underground parking, or attached garages, and pets are allowed if they weigh 25 pounds or less, which makes it easier for people with pets. The facility's focus on single-level, low-rise rambler style makes it accessible, and you'll find accessible elevators, flat concrete floors, stucco or stone and brick on the outside, and security with installed fire sprinklers and a call system for emergencies. For social activities, you've got arts and crafts rooms, walking paths, community movie nights, and outdoor programs, and if you need health services, there are assisted living, memory care, and even 24-hour nursing care options available, with help for bathing, dressing, medication management, and comprehensive supervision. Every unit comes with private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, cable TV, kitchenettes, and full-size appliances like dishwashers, washers, and dryers which keep things easy, and the building's connected to city water, city sewer, and utilities from Xcel Energy and natural gas for reliability. Residents get one garage parking spot in the underground area, a private storage unit, and hallway storage too, and staff and services keep things maintenance-free. The building has four floors and 126 units, and the HOA fee can change but often sits around $634 a month, which covers the amenities, upkeep, and shared spaces, and you deal with Realty Executives and sometimes independent realtors for buying, selling, or getting updates on the real estate market there. LGBTQ residents have legal protections for housing, employment, and public spaces, with policies covering both gender identity and orientation. The development is found at 7100 Metro Boulevard, Edina, MN 55439, and offers a blend of privacy and connection, without the bustle of big high rises, and it's built for those who want a relaxed but lively community with both the simple comforts of home and the support of a continuing care retirement setting.
