Using your VA benefit in Woodbury
Your VA benefit can go a long way in Woodbury when you know one rule about attached homes. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
Can I buy a townhome or condo in Woodbury with a VA loan? A townhome, usually yes. A condominium must be in a development the VA has approved. Your lender can check the approval list before you tour, which saves you from falling for a home you cannot finance.
Association dues and your payment
Many Woodbury neighborhoods have associations. With no down payment, your monthly payment is the number to watch, so we add the dues, taxes, and insurance to the mortgage for each home you consider.
Choosing the area
Three school districts serve Woodbury, and Interstate 94 and Interstate 494 run along its edges. Tell us where you will work or drill, and we start with the neighborhoods that fit the drive.

What va / military 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.
