Hidden Golden Valley of Plenty 2 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) Golden Valley, Minnesota is a residential suburb of Minneapolis with plenty of large lawns, parks and golf courses. It is a good place to raise a family when you work in the city. There are a few small service oriented jobs in Golden Valley, but it does not have a lot of industri ...Read More al areas.

The benefits of Golden Valley include having relatively quiet neighborhoods. The suburban neighborhoods are winding with plenty of cul-de-sacs. Almost every neighborhood has a large park with numerous jungle gyms, tennis courts, basketball courts, volley ball courts and drinking fountains. Golden Valley is the perfect place to bring your co-workers to barbecue and relax for the weekend.

If you want a good restaurant, you might check out Doolittle's Woodfire Grill at I-394 and Winnetka Avenue. You can find a number of stores in this strip mall. Unfortunately, there is not much of a night life in Golden Valley. Golden Valley is a quaint residential neighborhood. Read Less
