I like that there is the center area of town which has almost anything you need for daily living. The mall is basically the downtown of this city and most of the other go to stores and restaurants are within walking distance too which makes biking and walking very easy. Eden Prairie is also well known for its excellent public school system as well as having many parks and outdoor activities available. I would like to see improvement on the cost of living- renting in this town is more than a mortgage most places. Overall an excellent place to call home except of course if you can tolerate the cold that comes with in each winter.
I love Eden Prairie. The Schools are great, the athletics are great, and the people are great. It is a city that has lots of restaurants for parents to take their kids to. It also has an abundant of parks for family outings, casual hang outs, and to enjoy the outdoors. We also have a couple lakes around the area. What makes Eden Prairie especially great is the variety of activities like sports in the area for kids. From association to travel play in sports.
