North Metro MN Homes

Andover

This city was supposedly named after a steam engine that fell in the river and went "over and over and over." It is only 20 miles north of Minneapolis, so it is a great choice for home buyers who commute to downtown. Even though it is so close to the Twin Cities, Andover boasts plenty of amenities of its own. The Andover MN MLS inventory offers abundant choices of new home construction opportunities.

Coon Rapids

Coon Rapids was supposedly named after raccoons that came down to the river to wash their food. This North Metro Minnesota suburb is just 9.8 miles from Minneapolis and 15.4 miles from St. Paul.

Fridley

This community of 27000 people is home for about 900 businesses and seventeen churches. It has an especially vibrant local economy. Most of this community was built in the 1950's during the post war boom. Because the city is fully developed, there are scant new construction opportunities on the Fridley MLS. However, the Fridley real estate market offers affordable town homes and single family homes.

Ham Lake

This city was named by some Scandinavian farmers who thought the lake resembled the shape of a ham. The soil conditions made for poor farming, but the arrival of Central avenue stimulated residential and commercial development. New home construction is a prominent feature of this market. The Ham Lake real estate market offers everything from starter homes to residential properties with small acreage.
