Nokomis community is so-named for its major landmark, Lake Nokomis. Smaller Lake Hiawatha (including Lake Hiawatha Golf Course) and Diamond Lake are also located here, and lend to the attractiveness and recreational opportunities in these neighborhoods.

The southern neighborhoods: Minnehaha, Wenonah and Morris Park are deeply entrenched in Native American (Ojibwe) history as two of the names suggest. Wenonah neighborhood is named after Hiawatha's mother, the daughter of Nokomis. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalizes these people in his poem, The Song of Hiawatha. The arrival of streetcar routes was the driving force behind the major development that took place in these neighborhoods around 1865.

The community is largely residential but for some commercial districts near the Lake and peppered throughout. Size and style of homes in the community range based on geographic location and distance from Lake Nokomis. Homes around the Lake tend to be larger and while old, they're very well-built with quality craftsmanship and unique touches, generally very desirable properties.

As you travel away from the lake, the homes continue to be well-maintained and tidy but begin to attain a cozier feel. They're generally single-family, two-bedroom pre-1940 homes made of stucco, brick and stone. This is a very attractive neighborhood with lots of recreational opportunities for the young, active individuals as well as entire families.

In June 2007, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Nokomis, MN was $234,666. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.
