Why Live in Lake Elmo

Lake Elmo, Minnesota, is a growing Twin Cities suburb that maintains its small-town feel even as new development reshapes the area. Over half of the homes were built after 2000, including contemporary and New Traditional designs and modern Craftsman styles, with floor plans from about 1,200 to more than 5,000 square feet. Closer to downtown, there are older late-1800s farmhouses and early-1900s bungalows, adding to the area’s historic character. Lake Elmo Park Reserve spans 2,220 acres and has plenty to do, from swimming to hiking and enjoying a picnic. Sunfish Lake Park, with its wooded trails and the Sally Manzara Interpretive Nature Center, and Lake Elmo Central Park, with a playground and athletic fields, give residents more options to get outside. Golfers can join the Royal Golf Club, a private championship course designed by Annika Sörenstam and Arnold Palmer. The historic downtown further reinforces the city’s small-town charm, with long-running spots like Hagberg’s Meats and Lake Elmo Inn, plus a library, a summer farmers market and the annual Lake Elmo 4th of July Kids Parade. Most people drive, using interstates 94 and 694 to reach downtown Saint Paul, about 15 miles away, and downtown Minneapolis, about 25 miles away. There is limited public transportation, with a limited Metro Transit bus route running along Stillwater Boulevard.
