Search Excelsior Homes for Sale
The Excelsior real estate market, situated in the central eastern region of Minnesota in Hennepin County, is home to about 3,000 current residents who enjoy this small town atmosphere. With less than one square mile of land, Excelsior homeowners appreciate living in a close-knit community rather than the overcrowded metropolitan areas nearby. Excelsior is steeped in history as a town that was founded in the 1850s as a popular tourist destination for people away from the Twin Cities. Water Street was one of the most populous streets on any given day because of the number of businesses and merchants that were located there. Today, Water Street still stands as a historical reminder of those days with restaurants, shops and other businesses that strive to maintain its vintage appearance in the downtown Excelsior area. In addition, the Excelsior Amusement Park was a popular attraction for vacationers looking for a thrill, but unfortunately it was only in operation from the years 1925 to 1973.
