Lake Elmo Homes for Sale

Lake Elmo, Minnesota is a city in Washington County. Initially it was a part of the Oakdale Township until the township separated, and then the small district incorporated as a village. In 1972 the Lake Elmo Village and East Oakdale Township joined, forming the City of Lake Elmo. The city takes its name from nearby Lake Elmo. The lake was a popular resort area by the late 1870s, with livery stables bringing people from Stillwater and St. Paul to Lake Elmo. When the railroad came in the 1870s, it became even more of a tourist area. The lake was well known for its excellent fishing. However, the popularity as a resort area began to die when streetcar lines ran through Mahtomedi, shifting the resort reputation. Now, much of the city is still farmland, giving it a rural feel, but as suburban development moves eastward from St. Paul, some residential growth is taking place. Even so, the city chooses to remain rural by establishing limitations on typical development. The current estimated population is 8,800.

The beautiful Lake Elmo area has many outdoor related things to do. The Lake itself has boating options, and the Lake Elmo Park Reserve has many trails for walking, as well as the Pavilion to rest or spend time with family or friends. You’ll find a man-made swimming pool as well as a beach. There are also designated places for camping. Winter sports are also popular in the area.

Lake Elmo real estate is a mix of older cottages and contemporary homes in newer neighborhoods. Single-family homes of different traditional styles on large lots are available as monitored development takes place. The students of Lake Elmo are served by the Mahtomedi Public School District and the Stillwater Area Public Schools. Although a small community, there are many ways to be involved in the community, and many amenities in nearby Stillwater and St. Paul. For those who love the rural atmosphere and appreciate the amenities of being close to larger cities, then this becomes a must consider destination for homebuyers searching in the Stillwater area.
