What newcomers should know

  • Few homes are for sale at one time. A small city means a small market, so we may also watch neighboring cities.
  • Many homes are older. A thorough inspection matters, and we attend it for you.
  • Highway 61 is the main route north to St. Paul and Interstate 494.
  • South Washington County Schools serves the city. Confirm the schools for any address.

Buying an older home from a distance

Photos hide a home's age. On a video tour we show you the furnace, the electrical panel, the basement walls, and the roof line, and we tell you what we see. Then the inspector gives you the full picture before you are committed.

The steps for buying from a distance are on our relocating to Minnesota page. More about the city is on our St. Paul Park page, and the purchase itself is covered in buying a home in St. Paul Park.
