Waterside living in north Maplewood's Kohlman Lake
Set on the shores of its namesake in suburban north Maplewood, the Kohlman Lake neighborhood offers a laid-back, waterside lifestyle without sacrificing easy access to urban amenities. The community fronts U.S. Route 61, known locally as Maplewood Drive, which connects residents to a plethora of shopping and dining in the nearby Maplewood Mall and White Bear Lake areas. “White Bear Lake tends to be a little higher end, with higher property values, so this is a nice compromise between price and location,” says Homes Plus Realty’s Ron Knutsen, who has over 30 years of local real estate experience.

Single-family homes, townhomes and condos near Kohlman Lake
Towering white pines, oaks and box elders shade broad front lawns on these wide, gently curved streets. New Traditionals and Colonial Revivals are common, with a few Cape Cods and bungalows dotted here and there. Communities like Heritage Square have townhomes and condos. Single-family homes sell for between about $310,000 and $755,000, while townhomes and condos range from around $270,000 to $390,000. Large single-family homes with private Kohlman Lake access can go for more than $1 million.
Knutsen says despite proximity to Kohlman Lake and Gervais Lake, flooding isn’t a major concern. “A number of lakeshore homes have deeded access to the lake, rather than immediate access, meaning there’s some separation between them and the water.” Summers here are warm, with average highs reaching 80 degrees. Winters are cold, with lows often dropping below freezing. Maplewood typically gets about 50 inches of snow annually.
