Homes in Tamarack
The city does not publish home counts, home styles or build years for the streets around the preserve. We pull the year built, lot size and any association details for each Tamarack area address from Washington County records and the MLS.
Because the preserve is a protected wetland, we also check how close a lot sits to the preserve edge before you make an offer.
Parks and places nearby
The preserve is a rich fen left by retreating glaciers more than 10,000 years ago, and the city says it holds one of the southernmost stands of tamarack trees in Minnesota. About two miles of trails cross nearly flat ground, including two north-south wood boardwalks and a perimeter trail that is paved on its south and west sides.
The most popular loop starts at the Tower Drive lot and takes about 20 to 30 minutes at a relaxed pace. A simple playground and a picnic table sit near the lot. Woodbury's first disc golf course, a nine-hole layout in the south woods of the preserve, opened in June 2026 as a pilot.
Getting around and schools
A METRO Gold Line station sits on Bielenberg Drive north of Tamarack Road, one of three Gold Line stations in Woodbury. The Gold Line is a 10-mile bus rapid transit route that opened in 2025 and connects Woodbury to Saint Paul.
The city says most of Woodbury is in South Washington County Schools (District 833), and District 834 and District 622 serve other parts. Ask the district which schools serve a specific address before you buy.
