Recently, we’ve been analyzing ZIP codes in terms of their home values. Not long ago, we identified the most expensive ZIP codes in Wisconsin. For this iteration, we decided to analyze Minnesota in terms of its ZIP codes. Through our analysis of monthly home values, as well as financial data from the Census Bureau, we’ve identified the most expensive ZIP codes in states such as Arkansas, Virginia, and Delaware, among others. Now, it’s time to turn to Minnesota as we break out west of the Mississippi.
So, read on to find out the most expensive ZIP codes in Minnesota in 2025, relying on data from Zillow’s home value index and the Census Bureau.
The Most Expensive ZIP Codes in Minnesota
Zillow’s home value index tracks monthly home values for all types of homes on a monthly basis. For Minnesota, as of January 2025, it tracks 718 ZIP codes. Home values across most of Minnesota’s ZIP codes have seen solid growth since the pandemic hit in 2020. Growth slowed a bit from 2023 to 2024, but then picked back up.
As part of our analysis, we took into consideration the latest monthly home values Zillow has — January 2025— as well as the average of 12 months of median home values from February 2024 to January 2025, in order to gain a fuller picture. Below are the 25 most expensive ZIP codes in Minnesota.
