There’s no denying the convenience of being 10 minutes east of downtown St. Paul, and residents have helped the Woodbury/Afton/ Lake Elmo area become a highly livable suburb with an increasing number of urban amenities, including great restaurants, bike trails, and pedestrian-friendly shopping areas.
3M and other nearby corporate headquarters have brought in a diverse population. An excellent public school system draws those with children, and the bordering cities of Afton and Lake Elmo have largely retained their rural character, making green space and country experiences a short drive away.
