I think that a large part of it is that the west and south metro were built later than the north, which I think encouraged a little more affluent land usage. It's also a little closer to Downtown Minneapolis than the east metro I'm sure someone has done some research on the history. I didn't say that Brooklyn Park was anything like Eden Prairie, my comment was regarding what I think is a new "up and coming" neighborhood. Eden Prairie is almost fully developed and market values there are already some of the highest in the area. Brooklyn Park on the other hand still has quite a bit of development potential, and has significantly lower market values for comparable housing. It doesn't have a large shopping destination at this time but is only 5 minutes from the Arbor Lakes development in Maple Grove. That’s a good question.

I can't begin to comprehend how you go from Eden Prairie to Brooklyn Park, there is no comparison between these communities.
