Zimmerman is a rural suburb 40 miles from Minneapolis and St. Cloud
Zimmerman is a Twin Cities suburb in Livonia Township, about 40 miles north of Minneapolis. The Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge, a natural oak savanna, spreads westward from the small city center, and recreational lakes are abundant in the area. “Fremont Lake draws a lot of people. There are a ton of properties right on the lake,” says Realtor Nicole DeRyke with Keller Williams Classic Realty. “There are restaurants and stores, but the lakes bring that up-north, outdoorsy vibe.” Most of the city’s 6,000 residents commute to the Twin Cities or St. Cloud, also about 40 miles away.
Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge is a Minnesota treasure protecting vital wetland and forest habitats for diverse populations of wildlife.

Small lots in town give way to rambling wooded properties
“This is a farm community that’s now becoming less farm-y and more small town,” says DeRyke, who has been selling homes in the area for four years. Homes in the center of the community occupy lots measuring a quarter to half an acre, with paved driveways and grassy lawns. Outside of town in the rural outskirts, multiacre properties are more common among the tall evergreen trees and sweeping fields. Some houses on Fremont Lake and Elk Lake offer sandy beaches and private shoreline access. The Woodlands of Livonia, a wooded subdivision, features Craftsman-style builds and 5 miles of lighted walking trails. Prices start at $175,000 to $300,000 for townhouses and ranch-style homes or $315,000 to $500,000 for smaller New Traditional and Craftsman-style houses. Large custom builds on sizable lots sell for $525,000 to $800,000. Properties with lake access and luxury homes in The Woodlands can cost $750,000 to $1 million. As elsewhere in the Twin Cities region, garage space helps combat the high risk of hail and ice storms.

Lakes, forests and trails offer year-round outdoor fun
Sand Dunes State Forest features miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding, snowshoeing and snowmobiling beneath canopies of oak and pine. Campers pitch tents on the shore of Ann Lake, which has a swimming beach, a boat ramp and a fishing pier. Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge is a preserved habitat for migratory birds, including sandhill cranes. Families with young children will find playgrounds at Maefield Park, which is close to town, and Lions Memorial Park near Fremont Lake. Bow hunters take aim at deer, bears and wild turkeys in the Freemont Wildlife Management Area, and the golf course at Fairway Shores is open to the public.
Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge offers fantastic birdwatching opportunities where visitors can spot sandhill cranes ,various waterfowl, and migratory species.
