Suburban community centered around a lake
The area now known as McCarrons was settled by Charles McCarron in 1850. It was all farmland surrounding a lake that has since been named after the pioneer. A hundred years later, the farmland became the suburban community of Roseville with the city’s largest lake, where people are often out having fun. “I’ve been out there several times,” says Phong Cao, a local Realtor with Re/Max. “It’s a nice place to have a picnic or go canoeing and swimming.” Houses can be found on and off the water, and there are several places nearby to shop and dine out.
McCarron's Lake is the largest lake in Roseville, and it is nestled within the quiet suburban McCarron’s neighborhood.
The shopping plaza at Rice Street and Larpenteur offers convenient shopping and dining options.

Beaches and boats at Lake McCarrons County Park
Summer days are frequently spent at Lake McCarrons County Park, where people from all over Roseville go to relax on the beach and swim in the water with lifeguards on duty. The lake is stocked with various types of fish. There’s a fishing pier to cast a line or a boat ramp to head out on the water. A large grassy area sits between the parking lot and beach where dozens of picnic tables are available to enjoy a lunch while looking out at the lake. A reservoir connects to the north side of the lake in Villa Park with small pedestrian bridges that go over the water. The park is popular in the winter, where people go to skate and play hockey on the ice rink and take breaks in the warming house.
The trails around Villa Park are perfect for walking, running, and biking.
Lake McCarron’s County Park sits on the south edge of Lake McCarron’s in the McCarron’s Lake neighborhood.

Mid-century houses on and off the water
The neighborhood is made up of mostly single-family homes built between the 1940s and ‘70s. The leafy suburban streets are lined with ranch-style, bi-level and Colonial Revival houses. The median lot size is a quarter of an acre and most properties have fenced backyards with mature trees. The same style of houses surround McCarrons Lake. Some are close to the water, while others are tucked back behind mature trees. These lakefront houses all come with their own boat docks and range from $650,000 to $850,000. Off the water, houses sell for around $250,000 to $550,000.

Commuting to Central Minneapolis and St. Paul
Residents live right by Minnesota Highway 36, which can be taken 10 miles west to Central Minneapolis. The highway intersects with Interstate 35 East, which commuters can take for a 6.5-mile drive south to St. Paul. That highway convenience comes at the cost of higher noise levels in the areas immediately adjacent to those two highways. The interstate keeps going another 6 miles south to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.
Interstate-35E provides convenient access for residents to downtown St. Paul and beyond.
Hwy 36 is located on the north end of the McCarron’s neighborhood and provides access to downtown Minneapolis.
