## Verdict
The 'stay-where-you-are-but-bigger' play. Why this fits you specifically: you chose Edina once for the schools — the schools are still elite, your kids' friend networks already exist, and Concord/Morningside is the pocket where your $700-770K budget can still buy a 4bd SFH. The trade-off is paying ~$345/sqft for that continuity vs. ~$235/sqft in Plymouth or Minnetonka.

Pros: You already live here — zero school-transition friction for the kids; #3 HS in Minnesota; nationally recognized music + athletics; Walkable to 50th & France, Pamela Park, Lake Cornelia from the right blocks.
Cons: Highest $/sqft of any top-tier zone — $345/sqft means $700K buys ~2,000-2,200 sqft, vs. 3,000+ in Plymouth; Tight inventory at budget — Country Club / Oaklawn corridor pushes the zip's median above your range; Hot market: homes pending in ~9 days, 2% above list typical, 8% above list on hot homes.
