Overview of Excelsior & Grand Apartments

Excelsior & Grand Apartments sits at 3820 Grand Way in St Louis Park, offering independent living in a mid-rise building with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Starting price runs $2,895 a month, and the location does a lot of the work here. A Walk Score of 84 puts the neighborhood solidly in very walkable territory, so most errands don’t require a car, and there’s enough packed into a short walk to make that a real option, not just a nice idea on paper.

Inside, residents get a resort-style pool and a fitness center for staying active without leaving the building. There’s a community room with a fireplace too, which tends to become the actual social hub in places like this, somewhere people gather without needing an event on the calendar to justify it. A guest suite rounds things out, giving visiting family a place to stay without turning a resident’s own apartment into a guest room.

Pets are welcome, which matters more than it might sound like on paper. For a lot of people moving into independent living, not having to give up an animal companion is a real factor in the decision, not a minor detail. Between the walkable setting, the apartment variety, and amenities built for both activity and downtime, Excelsior & Grand Apartments reads as a straightforward option for someone who wants independence without sacrificing convenience or comfort.

Overview of Elysian Senior Homes of Duluth
