One of the most challenging aspects of shopping for a home in St. Louis Park is finding the perfect neighborhood. What constitutes perfection varies from person-to-person which is why we’re sometimes stumped when our clients ask for a recommendation.

This is why we decided to feature a different St. Louis Park neighborhood each month here on the St. Louis Park Real Estate blog. This month, it’s Amhurst. Read on to become acquainted with what is known as “A Village in the City.”

Whether that’s the reason they decided to close or not, we don’t know.
