The next stop on this tour is Excelsior, which is a small town on the south side of the Lake Minnetonka area. It is an older community that is filled with city-sized lots. Since it is a smaller area, all restaurants, grocery stores, and shops will be near one another.

While they may have paid $500,000 to $600,000 for a fixer-upper, they could easily sell their newly designed home for more than $1 million.
