Moving to Woodbury
Woodbury is one of the places relocating buyers ask us about most. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
What is Woodbury like for someone moving from out of state? It is a large suburb in Washington County, 8 miles east of St. Paul, with more than 3,300 acres of parks and open space and more than 160 miles of trails. Interstate 94 and Interstate 494 run along its edges.
Plan My Move to Woodbury
Decisions that are easier with a local guide
- School district. Three districts serve different parts of the city, so the address matters.
- Associations. Many neighborhoods have one. Dues and rules differ.
- Freeway access. Interstate 94 leads west to St. Paul, and Interstate 494 leads south toward the airport.
- Lakes. About 90 percent of the lakeshore is public trail and parkland.
Seeing Woodbury from far away
Woodbury's neighborhoods can look alike online. On video, we show you the things that set them apart: the trail behind the yard, the distance to the nearest shops, and the traffic on the street at five o'clock.
The steps for buying from a distance are on our relocating to Minnesota page. More about the city is on our Woodbury page, and the purchase itself is covered in buying a home in Woodbury.

What relocation 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.
