Emerald Gardens fits your unique lifestyle.
Many people look for the home that is close to everything they want and need - but far from everything they don't. Emerald Gardens is that rare opportunity. Take advantage of all the cities have to offer, but come home to a quiet, established neighborhood that just happens to be poised in the center of the action. The best of both worlds!

Next to the quaint Prospect Park neighborhood, with convenient access to transportation, business, recreation and entertainment, Emerald Gardens is on the quiet side of the crossroads.

It is less than 2 miles from both the Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses of the University of Minnesota – close to classes, games, culture and entertainment around the ‘U’ and Dinkytown.

Central Corridor Light Rail Line

The proposed light rail transit (LRT) line along University Avenue will connect five major centers of activity – the two downtowns, the state Capitol, the University of Minnesota and the Midway area. The planned line will have 16 new stations, connect with the Hiawatha line at the Metrodome station and continue to its terminus at the new Minneapolis multimodal station, which also will serve the planned Northstar commuter rail line. Westgate Station will be located on University Avenue – only 1 block from Emerald Gardens. The project achieved an important milestone Feb. 28, 2008 when the Metropolitan Council approved the final scope of the 11-mile line linking downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul.
