A suburban community within walking distance of its popular namesake park
Named after the body of water that inhabits it, Lake George offers residents walking access to one of St. Cloud's most frequented parks. This park, a community hub for the city, offers year-round recreational opportunities atop one of the area’s few accessible lakes and hosts the much-anticipated Summertime by George! concert series. Developed as the city expanded westward, homes from the early to mid-1900s dominate its tree-lined streets. However, the neighborhood is also home to St. Cloud City Hall and the Islamic Center of St. Cloud on 7th Saint Street. Despite its mostly residential landscape, short trips lead to the shopping and dining opportunities of St. Cloud's downtown district directly northeast.
Heading toward Eastman Park residents of Lake George are often seen walking the dog.

Lake George Park's year-round recreational opportunities
Lake George Park is a focal point for the community and the greater St. Cloud area. “The lake is a city-wide community setting and has such a wholesome feeling,” says Mary Ellen Richter, a local broker with Kerber Castle Realty Group. “A lot of people will go out on their lunch breaks and walk on the trails around the lake.” During warmer months, little ones run loose on the playground and splash pad, while those looking to get on the water rent paddle boats and canoes from the adjoining Lake George Boat House. When cold Minnesota winters hit, the lake freezes over, and folks from the area take to the ice for a day of skating. Great River Regional Library sits directly north on the other side of 1st Saint Street, offering short trips to pick up a new read or reserve a private study room.
The Lake George neighborhood is delightfully situated next to the eponymous body of water.
Walking around Lake George on a sunny afternoon is a pleasant way to enjoy the weather.

A variety of styles from the early to mid-1900s
Grassy medians home to oak and evergreen trees run parallel to the community’s residential streets. These provide pockets of shade along narrow sidewalks that connect one rectangular block from the next. Narrow walkways leading to front doors support parking along the street, but most store their vehicles in driveways or detached garages on the backside of homes. Early- to mid-20th-century homes comprise most of the community and feature a variety of architectural styles, from American Foursquare and Vernaculars to ranch and Cape Cod styles. Home prices range from $85,000 to $250,000, depending on size and condition.“The community is centrally located and affordable,” says Richter. “It’s close to St. Cloud State University but so close that it’s a fully rental community.”
Lake George is home to many of the Craftsman style houses popular in the early 20th century.

Local shops like Rush Boutique, Books Revisited and Spice of Life Tea Shop also share the street. However, residents can pick up groceries in the neighborhood at Coburn’s Grocery Store on Cooper Avenue South and Somalian goods from Mogadishu Grocery on 7th Saint Street.
