"So much to do...so many places to shop and eat"
Maple Grove has been rapidly growing over the last 15 years. The downtown Maple Grove area has every store and restaurant you could think of. There is still plenty of development going on in Maple Grove and if you spend some time there you will realize why developers continue to build single family homes, town homes and condos. The city is run efficiently and it is a wonderful place to raise a family. Rush hour can be daunting, but that is about the only negative thing I can say.
