Maple Grove: Northwest Metro's Largest Suburb
Maple Grove is Hennepin County's largest suburb and one of Minnesota's fastest-growing cities over the past two decades. Located about 15 miles northwest of Minneapolis, it features a mix of newer construction (2000s–2020s) and established neighborhoods from the 1980s–1990s. Minnesota winters hit Maple Grove fully — sub-zero temperatures, 7,500+ annual heating degree days, and heating seasons from October through April. Efficient, reliable heating is essential for Maple Grove's diverse housing stock.
