Suburban-living in the hills of Ramsey County
Rolling hills welcome residents into the southern Maplewood community of Vista Hills. Named for its terrain and the 14-acre greenspace at its center, this neighborhood attracts buyers with its suburban environment and commuter accessibility. “Convenience is the primary draw of Maplewood and Vista Hills provides just that,” says Lyn Bockert, Real Estate Agent at Keller Williams Premier Realty. “There are major freeways on either side, and amenities in Woodbury or in St. Paul are within a 10-minute drive.” Residents here can stroll the paved paths surrounding Vista Hills Park or stop by the family-owned Keys Cafe & Bakery for a pastry or two. Known for its neighborhood feel and affordable starter homes, Vista Hills offers a balanced lifestyle in Ramsey County.

Split-level homes and two-story traditionals
Homes in Vista Hills are desirable for their entry-level pricing and wide range of options. “The market is competitive due to a lack of inventory,” says Bockert, who has nearly 50 years of real estate experience. “Homes in southern Maplewood are typically more expensive and feature homes from the 1980s.” With a median sales price of $210,000, homes here cost around $200,000 less than the national median. Prices range from as low as $140,000 for a one-bedroom condo to upwards of $700,000 for a six-bedroom two-story Traditional. Most homes were constructed in the late 1900s and feature ranch-styles and split-level designs. At the turn of the century, newly constructed two-story Traditionals moved into the south side of the community, starting at around $500,000. Established single-family homes make up most of the housing stock; however, multi-family condos and townhouses are also available in the northwest corner of this community. Residential streets branch off McKnight Road and lead to subdivisions lined with single-family homes. Most residences feature mid-sized lawns, paved driveways and attached multi-car garages.
