Moving Up to a Larger Home in Woodbury
Sell the home you have outgrown and buy the one you need, with both moves planned together.
Moving up in Woodbury
Woodbury has a deep supply of larger homes, which makes it a frequent choice for a second or third purchase. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
What should a move-up buyer look for in Woodbury? Space that solves the problem you have today, in the right school district, with an association you can live with. Three districts serve Woodbury, so the address decides the district.
Compare more than square footage
- Association dues and rules vary widely between neighborhoods.
- Property taxes rise with price. We compare the full monthly payment, not the mortgage alone.
- Distance to Interstate 94 and Interstate 494.
- Trail and lake access. Most of the lakeshore is public, so many neighborhoods connect to it.
Selling the home you are in
If your current home is also in Woodbury, we price it against its own neighborhood. If it is elsewhere, we handle that sale too, so one person coordinates both closings. See move-up buyers, selling in Woodbury, and our Woodbury page.

What move-up buyers looks like in Woodbury
Woodbury is Minnesota's seventh-largest city, 8 miles east of St. Paul on Interstate 94, with public trails around its lakes and more than 160 miles of trails in all.
Woodbury is one of the communities we work in most. It borders Cottage Grove, where I live, and I know how its neighborhoods differ.
- The homes
- Two-story homes, townhomes, and association-maintained communities. Many neighborhoods have a homeowners association.
- Schools people ask about
- Three school districts serve different parts of the city, and South Washington County Schools covers most of it. Confirm the district for any address.
- Getting around
- Interstate 94 runs along the north edge toward St. Paul, and Interstate 494 runs along the west side toward the airport and Bloomington.
- Nearby
- More than 3,300 acres of parks and open space and more than 160 miles of trails, including Carver Lake Park.
- The trade-off
- About 90 percent of the lakeshore is public trail and parkland, so homes directly on a lake are rare.
