West Bde Maka Ska is one of Minneapolis’ best neighborhoods. The neighborhood voted to change the name from West Calhoun to West Maka Ska in 2020. Between its natural beauty, family-friendly atmosphere, great schools, and excellent location, it’s not hard to see why so many renters are attracted to West Bde Maka Ska. The community is nestled along the western shore of Bde Maka Ska, the largest lake in Minneapolis. Anchored by Minikahda Club, a lush private golf course, West Maka Ska is south of Cedar Lake and Lake of the Isles and north of Lake Harriet. With easy access to four lakes and waterfront green space, West Maka Ska residents have plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. Go swimming at Thomas Beach, take a stroll along the Grand Rounds trail, or see a concert at the Lake Harriet Bandshell Park. Along with natural beauty, West Maka Ska has restaurants, grocers, and stores in the neighborhood.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
