About Bearpath
Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, Minnesota
Bearpath is without question one of the Twin Cities' most prestigious residential addresses — a gated golf community in Eden Prairie surrounding the Bearpath Golf & Country Club, which features a private Tom Fazio-designed 18-hole championship course. Access through the gated entrance immediately signals that Bearpath operates at a different level: impeccably maintained streets, architectural review board oversight on all homes, and a level of privacy and security that attracts CEOs, professional athletes, and community leaders.
Homes within Bearpath range from large executive homes in the $1M range to extraordinary lakefront and course-side estate properties exceeding $5M. The architectural covenant ensures consistency without uniformity — no two homes look alike, but all maintain the premium quality and landscaping standards that preserve property values throughout the community.
Bearpath's location in Eden Prairie puts residents within minutes of Eden Prairie Center, the Eden Prairie employment corridor (home to headquarters for major national companies), and the Southwest Light Rail, which opened access to Minneapolis's employment and entertainment corridor.
