Rush Creek Elementary School: 9/10 Maple Grove Middle School: 7/10 Maple Grove Senior High School: 10/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com
WHAT TO KNOW: This is a true master-planned development, with about 227 single-family homes and 154 townhomes planned across roughly 180 acres, so it will feel more substantial and community-oriented than smaller neighborhoods. Homesite character varies — some lots offer creek, wetland, or pond views and others feel more standard — so section and lot selection matter. The HOA supports shared amenities and common spaces, which adds lifestyle value but also creates a more structured neighborhood feel. Compared with other Maple Grove options, Evanswood is compelling for buyers who want setting, amenities, and multiple respected builders in one place, rather than a boutique custom environment or a simpler production subdivision. STANDOUT FEATURE: Evanswood combines a premium builder lineup with a true amenity package — a future pool and clubhouse, trails, and 25 acres of open space around Rush Creek, ponds, and wetlands — a rare combination in Maple Grove.
Ridge at Elm Creek BEST FIT: Move-up and luxury buyers who want a custom-home neighborhood with larger homesites, a real amenity package, and Wayzata school district positioning.

Wayzata High School: 10/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com
STANDOUT FEATURE: Ridge at Elm Creek pairs executive-style lots with true neighborhood amenities — about 160 large custom homesites, a pool, clubhouse, playground, and trail connections into roughly 80 acres of preserved woodlands. That combination is rare for a higher-end custom neighborhood. WHAT TO KNOW: This isn't a low-maintenance or entry-level community. Private wooded backyards, long views, and homesites that can accommodate features like four-car garages and indoor sport courts are part of the value proposition, so the appeal is much more about lot quality and home scale than affordability or simplicity. Different lots will feel very different depending on tree coverage, elevation, and view lines, so homesite selection matters here more than it would in a flatter production neighborhood. Compared with other Maple Grove options, Ridge at Elm Creek is strongest for buyers who want custom-home presence plus neighborhood amenities; it's not for buyers looking for smaller homesites or a lower-maintenance setup.
