Small city makes room for all
There’s no such thing as being “left out” in Lauderdale, Minnesota. From the Do Good Roseville Volunteer Fair at the local high school to the Lauderdale Day in the Park, the camaraderie in this small city is palpable. However, for those wanting a little more action, fast-moving Minneapolis is less than 5 miles away. Direct access to major roadways, lower-than-usual home prices for the Twin Cities, low or no HOA fees, and two golf courses right next door help explain why real estate here is so sought-after. “The funny thing about Lauderdale is that people who live there stay there,” says Mary Schumann, a local Realtor with Keller Williams. “There aren’t many homes that come up for sale.” Lauderdale is almost entirely residential, with its 2,000-plus residents living on a cluster of roughly gridded streets. “The housing there really varies,” Schumann says. “Some are very much in the fixer category and then some are well-maintained midcentury homes.” With Highway 280 nearby, residents can drive to the heart of downtown Minneapolis in 15 minutes or less. Highway 36 to the north connects travelers to Interstate 35 East, which will get you to downtown Saint Paul even more quickly.
Lauderdale is a small town on the border of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Craftsman homes meet modest ranch-styles and split-levels
Home designs vary from stucco Tudors and vinyl-sided bungalows from the 1920s to more recent ranch-style and split-level constructions. New Craftsman constructions have also sprung up in the last decade or so, while Brandychase at Rose Hill features one- and two-bedroom condominiums in a 1980-built complex. Home prices range from the mid-$100,000s for a small condominium. Single-family homes range from cozy bungalows in the $200,000s to spacious estates topping $1 million. However, those are not the norm, with the median home price at about $253,000. When lamenting the lower property prices, Realtors caution that homebuyers should remember that Minnesota winters can be brutal, advising that they should factor in heating costs when budgeting.
