Great things about your town/city?

Saint Cloud is a family friendly city with a small town feel. A person can take a walk by the river, play in the splash pad/parks, spend the day frisbee golfing or take in a play at the historic Paramount Theater then go watch the Rox play baseball. It has something for everyone. In addition, it is less than an hour from the Twin Cities metro area, and connected to the North Star Rail System for easy access to the Twins, Vikings, shopping and arts of the major metropolitan areas.

What great things are there to do in your neighborhood?

This house is located in a family friendly neighborhood with great walking and bicycle paths and lots of natural spaces for the kids to explore. It is close to golf, walking, hiking, parks and shopping and at the same time it is quiet without the bustle of older busier areas in town.

Great Parks/Playgrounds Nearby:

Lake George, Whitney Park, Riverside Park, Quarry Park and Nature Preserve

Great restaurants nearby:

White Horse, Kohinoor, RJ's and Bello Cucina

Wonderful Grocery Stores or near by shopping:

Lund:Byerly's

Crossroads Mall

What we Love about the area:

This neighborhood is 10 minutes from all the amenities of downtown Saint Cloud while still maintaining a quiet and unhurried pace, it is largely undeveloped, with spacious lots, not typical of a city neighborhood, while still having the convenience of living in the city!

The view from this property, located near the highest point in the Saint Cloud area, extends over 20 miles with great sunsets and sunrises! The kids especially love the wildlife that roam through the area. Quiet neighborhood with great neighbors!

Great things about the Schools:

The Saint Cloud school district offers highly regarded language immersion programs in Spanish and Chinese for all school ages, with busing to the program of your choice, nearly unheard of outside of the Twin Cities Metro area.

What did you do for interests and hobbies near to the property?

We love to take long walks and bike rides around the neighborhood at night, on hot days the kids love to splash at the nearby splash park and we all love to explore the many outdoor activities in the area, a concert in the park or a walk through the nearby nature preserve!

Key points about the house and updates to the property:

This property is in a neighborhood with great space, it backs up to 13 undeveloped acres and has a wild park area to the front with great setbacks from the neighbors. We designed and built this house to make it family friendly with spaces for everyone. The bedrooms are all oversized with many upgrades and details throughout. You can enjoy listening to music throughout the house with the in-wall speakers, ethernet internet connections in each room even w/o wi-fi, in the basement watch your favorite movie in 5.1 surround sound. Your kids will love the neighborhood and the many friends they can make while you can go for long family walks in peace and get those steps in!
