Back Home in Bryn Mawr — at The Eloise

Among the many varieties of trees surrounding The Eloise at Wirth on the Woods are thousands of trees that were planted decades ago by students from St. Margaret’s Academy (now Anwatin Middle School). One of those students was Rita M., who along with her classmates in the first sophomore class at St. Margaret’s, dug holes and planted saplings all around the school near the 759-acre Theodore Wirth Regional Park.

Today, she looks out at those trees from her home at The Eloise. “I love my view, and I love the woods,” Rita said of the new 55-plus community in Minneapolis.

For most of her life, Bryn Mawr has been home for Rita. Having grown up in the charming Bryn Mawr neighborhood, she has memories of walking to Pearl & Arnie’s ice cream shop (where Cuppa Java is today) and Christensen’s Grocery Store. Now, back in the neighborhood she loves so much, Rita takes walks around the parks and trails.

“I’m so glad to be back,” she said. “It’s close to everything, and I feel at home here. Being back in Bryn Mawr is the key thing for me.”

The Eloise is a 100-unit community nestled among those trees Rita planted many years ago — steps from Theodore Wirth Park and minutes from downtown Minneapolis. In addition to being surrounded by nature, yet close to the city, the building itself features thoughtful details and many amenities. “The décor is marvelous,” Rita said. “They’ve done a great job creating a lovely environment.”
