Shoreview blends outdoor fun and steady suburban life

Life revolves around getting outside in Shoreview, a suburban Twin Cities community with plenty of parks, lakes and trails. Though its recreation stands out, including the expansive Shoreview Community Center, the city also draws homebuyers for its mix of home styles and prices, as well as its steady market. Students are served by two top school districts, and it's easy for commuters to reach Saint Paul and Minneapolis.

What buyers can pay for ramblers and lakefront New Traditional homes

Many of Shoreview's homes were built in the mid- to late 1900s. Buyers can find ramblers and split-level homes that often run from the lower $200,000s to the upper $600,000s. New Traditional homes can range from the lower $400,000s for a smaller build to about $3 million for a luxury estate with waterfront views and a private dock. Townhomes usually sell between the upper $100,000s and the lower $500,000s, with HOA fees between $300 and $500 per month. On average, the city tends to be less expensive than nearby communities like Arden Hills and North Oaks. “The values of the homes maintain themselves, and it's got an established neighborhood feel,” says Shawn Korby, a realtor with Keller Williams Integrity Realty who has more than two decades of experience selling in the area.

Play sports or hit the water park at Shoreview Community Center

Shoreview's identity is connected to the outdoors. The city has roughly a dozen parks and more than 60 miles of trails and sidewalks to explore. Shoreview Commons Park stands out for its sports courts, skate park and large playground, and it adds an ice rink each winter. You can check out Vadnais-Snail Lakes Regional Park for its swimming beach and hiking and biking trails that snake through woods and wetlands. There's also a boat launch and picnic shelters at Turtle Lake Park.

For a resort-like experience, people can visit the Shoreview Community Center, which draws more than half a million guests each year to its two water parks, Tropics and Bamboo Bay. The center also has a fitness studio, an indoor playground and a gym.
