Maple Grove

About the Community of Maple Grove

Northwest of downtown Minneapolis is on of the state's fastest growing communities and most dynamic cities. Strong city management and excellent location has allowed high-quality residential, commercial and industrial growth to take place. Development is expected to remain strong in the city. Residential projects will involve both single and family attached and detached homes, multi-family apartments, and a variety of senior housing options. Maple Grove has seen a great increase in commercial activity with a variety of services coming to the area. Some of the major shopping areas include The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes, the Main Street shops, Maple Crossings, Bass Lake Center, Zachary Square and Grove Square. Maple Grove is also home to many regional, national and international firms such as Boston Scientific, Gannett Offset, GSI Lumonics, World Areospace, The Printer Inc. of MN, Data REcognition Corporation, Upsher-Smith Laboratories, and Tennant Corp to name only a few. Maple Grove also has a unique opportunity most cities never experience - opening more than 2,000 acres of former and present gravel mining area for residential, commercial, recreational, industrial and public uses. Maple Grove was proud to host President George W. Bush in 2005. The City has an exceptional park system with 39 miles of trails and three regional parks. Maple Grove is blessed with excellent recreational areas, numerous lakes and quality tree protection areas. Maple Grove is truly one of Minnesota's most exciting cities.
