The area has seen significant growth since 1990, nearly doubling in size since 2000. Residents enjoy a small-town feel with urban conveniences nearby. Big Lake is consistently ranked among the top five safest cities in Minnesota, making it an attractive option for families. The neighborhood offers a variety of home styles, including traditional ranch-style homes, newly constructed craftsman houses, and multi-family townhouses. Older homes are found near the city core, while newer developments are on the outskirts.
