TWIN CITIES NEW CONSTRUCTION GUIDE 2026 V2

Brindle Path

MEDINA NEIGHBORHOODS

BEST FIT: Luxury move-up buyers who want a newer home in Medina with Wayzata schools, oversized homesites, and enough width to support larger floor plans, four-car garages, and higher-end features that are hard to fit into tighter developments..

Medina Elementary School: 9/10 Wayzata West Middle School: 9/10 Wayzata High School: 10/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com

STANDOUT FEATURE: Homesite profile. Brindle Path is built around 90-foot-wide lots with scenic pond and wetland views, plus proximity to a 20-acre park — an open, estate-style feel that most nearby new construction communities can't match.

WHAT TO KNOW: This is a small luxury community rather than an amenity-driven one — about 35 homesites in the Wayzata district, with pricing starting in the $1.2M-$1.3M+ range. The value is tied more to lot width, home scale, and location than amenities like a pool or clubhouse. Homesites vary noticeably, with some active listings on lots around 0.39 acres, so buyers should evaluate each lot individually rather than assuming a consistent feel throughout. Compared with Hampton Hills (Plymouth) or Hollydale, Brindle Path is the choice when oversized lot width matters more than amenities.

Deer Hill Preserve BEST FIT: Luxury buyers who want a true custom-home setting with land, privacy, and a stronger connection to nature than most west metro neighborhoods. It appeals to buyers prioritizing acreage, views, and long-term setting over amenities or a traditional subdivision feel.

Orono Senior High School: 10/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com

Distance To Target:14 min Style: Single Family Homes

STANDOUT FEATURE: The land plan itself. A conservation-oriented neighborhood with about 40-41 homesites across roughly 170 acres, 1.3 to 2.6 acre lots, and a large protected conservation area woven throughout the community. A central park and trail system connect into Baker Park Reserve, creating a rare combination of acreage living and direct recreational access. WHAT TO KNOW: This isn't a pool-and-clubhouse neighborhood. The value is tied to homesite quality, conservation design, and the surrounding landscape rather than maintenance-free living or a social amenity package. Compared with BridgeVine in Independence, Deer Hill Preserve trades shared lake access for larger conservation-protected acreage.
