Golden Valley City Center — A Walkable Neighborhood

Golden Valley City Center brings shopping and dining together in a lively Golden Valley destination. Located conveniently off Hwy 55 and only minutes from downtown Minneapolis, the district’s tree-lined sidewalks lead visitors to charming boutiques and inviting restaurants.

The Heart of the City

At Winnetka Avenue and Golden Valley Rd., Golden Valley’s civic center comes together. This operational heart of Golden Valley includes City Hall, the fire station, the police station, the post office and Golden Valley’s Public Library.

Beneath the Water Tower

Golden Valley’s water tower stands at the center of the district. Its surrounding grounds host community events as well as Market in the Valley, the city’s farmers market, which operates every Sunday from spring to fall.

Diverse Shopping

Three neighborhood shopping developments make up the City Center area: Golden Valley Commons, Town Square, and Golden Valley Shopping Center. Shoppers can browse unique gifts at Patina, discover new and used vinyl at Down in the Valley, and find women’s fashions at Mainstream Boutique and Ragstock.
