If White Bear Lake is one of the highest-priced lakes in the Twin Cities, alongside Lake Minnetonka and Prior Lake in my read of this market, Dellwood Avenue is the street proving it. This is the corridor where White Bear Yacht Club and Dellwood Country Club sit, and it's where the lake's largest lots and largest homes cluster.
What's actually closed here
Eight recent closed sales on Dellwood Avenue range from $1,800,000 to $2,675,000. A 3,510-square-foot home on 1.26 acres closed at $1,800,000. A 3,829-square-foot home on 0.75 acres closed at $2,000,000. A 6,300-square-foot, 5-bedroom home on 1.59 acres closed at $2,015,000. A 4,868-square-foot home on 2.34 acres closed at $2,400,000. A 4,621-square-foot home on 2.5 acres closed at $2,525,000. And the top closed sale, a 4,724-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom home on 1.07 acres, closed at $2,675,000.
That 2.5-acre lot is worth noting on its own. Most White Bear Lake shoreline parcels run under an acre. Dellwood Avenue is one of the only places on this lake where multi-acre lakefront lots still exist.
What's active and pending right now
As of this writing, one home on Dellwood Avenue is listed active at $7,400,000, a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home with 5,071 square feet on 1.5 acres and a 6-car garage. It's the highest-priced listing anywhere on White Bear Lake right now. A second home is pending at $2,975,000, a 4,617-square-foot, 5-bedroom home on 1.64 acres.
Between the closed range and the active listing, Dellwood Avenue spans from the lake's upper-luxury tier straight through to its true top of market.
Why this corridor commands the premium it does
Beyond the acreage, Dellwood Avenue's value comes from what surrounds it. White Bear Yacht Club and Dellwood Country Club anchor the area, giving the corridor a private-club character that's rare on a lake this close to the Twin Cities metro. Buyers here aren't just buying square footage and shoreline, they're buying into an established, low-turnover neighborhood where large lots rarely come to market.

I live one lake over, on Centerville Lake, and I track White Bear Lake's numbers the same way I track my own. My closed transactions run through the surrounding corridor, Bald Eagle Lake, Turtle Lake, Centerville Lake, Forest Lake, Reshanau Lake, and Sunfish Lake, with Bald Eagle Lake being the strongest part of my business. I haven't closed a sale on Dellwood Avenue or White Bear Lake itself yet. There are good agents who specialize here, and I respect that. What I bring is the same data discipline I use on my home lakes, applied to this one, and I'm actively building toward representing buyers and sellers on this shoreline because it earns the attention.
