Country Club District, Historic residential district in Edina, United States
Country Club District is a historic residential area in Edina featuring homes built in Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival styles throughout the 20th century. The buildings line curved streets shaded by mature trees, creating a carefully planned neighborhood layout.
The district developed in the early 20th century as an example of American suburban growth and was later recognized for its architectural and planning significance. It demonstrates how early suburban neighborhoods were designed and built.
The neighborhood keeps its character alive through regular community events and local efforts to maintain historical buildings. Residents value the intentional design with curved streets and mature trees that foster a sense of togetherness.
The area is easy to explore on foot, with sidewalks and a manageable size that allows for a comfortable walk. It helps to bring a map or mobile device when exploring the various streets and houses, as the curved street layout can feel disorienting at first.
The area gets its name from a golf course that once stood here and influenced how the neighborhood was developed and laid out. This origin remains visible in the architecture and street design, even though the course itself is long gone.
