Linden Hills is an upper-class neighborhood situated next to two large lakes. You'll notice that it's very white (about 94% and only 1% black) and is probably most similar to Hyde Park, Coventry Heights, and Grandview Heights for Ohio equivalents. There  is another little business district ten blocks west, but my feet are still tender from all the walking I've done and it doesn't look as nice the main one anyway.

Looks pleasant.

Actually, I found it too pleasant, and too upper-class, older, white folky for my taste. I liked the lakefront better.

I think I'd be reasonably comfortable living there, although it would stretch my retirement funds. I've ridden the historic streetcars and biked on the excellent bike paths in the area of Lake Harriet. I noticed that a lot of the bigger, older trees in the neighborhood need attention from a skilled arborist; some areas look like a jungle. They need deadwood removed and the low-hanging branches cleared out. That can improve sight lines and let in more light without damaging the shade-giving properties of the trees, and reduce the damage to both trees and properties beneath them in an ice storm.
