What makes Mahtomedi and the St. Croix River valley unique as a place to live?

It is a way of life. You are never far from water, trails, or a great local spot to grab a bite. That is what people notice first about this part of the east metro, and it is what keeps them here.

I have lived in this community for years. I know the school districts, the neighborhoods, the back roads, and the best places to watch the sun go down over the river.

Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake offer that small-town feel with easy access to the Twin Cities. Mahtomedi sits on the eastern shore of White Bear Lake with top-rated ISD 832 schools, and downtown St. Paul is about 20 minutes away.

White Bear Lake is one of the largest lakes in the metro, spanning more than 2,400 acres with consistently A-rated water quality. A walkable historic downtown, community events like Manitou Days and Marketfest, and year-round recreation make it a place where neighbors actually know each other.

The St. Croix River valley running through Minnesota and Wisconsin gives you four-season recreation, incredible sunsets, and a tight-knit community feel you just do not find everywhere. Historic river towns like Stillwater, Hudson, and Osceola add character and charm.

The protected St. Croix National Scenic Riverway preserves more than 200 miles of waterway, with bluffs, forests, and wildlife right outside your door.

Summer means boating, fishing, and farmers markets. Fall brings color along the river bluffs. Winter offers skiing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing. Spring is a slow, beautiful thaw along the waterfront.

Whether you want a family home near the lake or a quiet retreat in the Northwoods, this corridor has a place for you.
