About this Neighborhood

Linden Hills sits on a hill overlooking Lake Harriet, named for the linden trees and rolling terrain that define it, and it shows in an eleven-park count that dwarfs most neighborhoods. Home to about 7,564 people, it trades density for greenery and shoreline. Martina, Tilia and Rosalia Pizza in Linden Hills give the small restaurant scene outsized reputation, and Foursquare regulars gravitate to bakeries, cafes, playgrounds and a swimming pool. With five gyms and lake access close at hand, the neighborhood's rhythm is set by walks, water and a good meal.
