Isanti offers quiet living in the forests and farmlands north of Minneapolis
Isanti is a rural town of around 6,700 residents about 45 minutes north of the Twin Cities. It’s surrounded by rolling rivers, pristine forests and wide-open agricultural lands, offering residents a peaceful setting that’s still within reach of the big city. The town has experienced relatively quick growth over the past 20 years, accompanied by increased new home construction. “I really like being in a small community with a small-town feel, but I can still get to the city in less than an hour,” says Realtor Jeffrey Rud of Re/Max Results, a longtime Isanti resident.
