If you’re looking to buy a lakehome in Minnesota or to purchase lakefront property in the Minneapolis-St. Paul suburbs, it’s hard to find a better place to do in than Lino Lakes. And even if you’re not in the market to purchase a lakehome, you’re sure to enjoy the lakeside scenery and beach-side recreation of Lino Lakes. As its name suggests, Lino Lakes is home to some of the largest and most abundant lakes of almost any other Minneapolis-St. Paul suburb. On top of its wonderful location, anyone who buys a home in Lino Lakes gets to enjoy great schools, great parks, and a wonderful, welcoming community. Lino Lakes thus offers homebuyers an almost unbeatable location and serenity in addition to an ideal suburban life.

If you’re an avid swimmer or fisherman, or if you just enjoy seeing an abundance of lakes on your daily commute, you’ll love owning a home in Lino Lakes. Lakes, ponds, streams, and creeks make up over 15% of Lino Lakes total area, making the city home to over 2.5 square miles of water – more water than almost any other Minneapolis or St. Paul suburb. All in all, the city is home to thirteen large lakes, many of which being available for recreational use. So even if you don’t buy private lakefront property in Lino Lakes, you can always enjoy a picnic at the public beach or fishing at a public pier. Wintertime allows for ice fishing and ice-skating on the lake. And year round, the lakes are a beautiful and scenic addition to any backyard. At Buy Sell Lease Real Estate, we know that the old adage “location, location, location” still holds true today, and it’s hard to beat a location like Lino Lakes.

At the same time, though, Lino Lakes offers much more than its abundant shoreline. Those who buy a home in Lino Lakes with the intention of raising a family there will be happy to note that Lino Lakes is served by three independent school districts, each with its own unique offerings and advantages. For example, Centennial School District is close to many Lino Lakes homes and offers a great education together with great convenience. Forest Lake School District 831 is notable in that more than two-thirds of its teachers have advanced degrees. And White Bear Lake Area Schools, the area’s third school district, has a huge assortment of varied extracurricular offerings as well as special educational programs specifically tailored for autistic students. With all these options, it’s easy to find a program that’s ideal for your children, no matter their situation. Families will be happy to raise a family in an environment with such great schools.

But that isn’t the only reason to buy a house in Lino Lakes, nor is it the only reason that Lino Lakes is a great place to raise a family. Despite the thirteen large lakes, Lino Lakes still managed to squeeze almost 20 parks into the city. And while other cities may boast more parks or more acres of parkland, Lino Lakes’ parks have the unique privilege of taking advantage of all the lakes and shoreline in the area. So those who purchase a home in Lino Lakes will not only get nearby playgrounds, ballfields, basketball and tennis courts, soccer and football fields, and picnic shelters; they’ll also get plenty of public beaches and fishing piers. That’s an advantage other cities wish they could boast about, and it’s an advantage that makes family picnics, pick-up basketball games, or bike rides through the city both conveniently close and enjoyable.

And on top of the lakes, location, schools, and parks, we could still go on – the city is less than a half hour from downtown St. Paul, it has a wonderful community with tons of exciting city events, there is a ton of things to do.
