Forest Lake is one of the largest lakes in the northern Twin Cities region and has long been a destination for buyers looking for waterfront property.
The lake spans more than 2,200 acres with roughly 15 miles of shoreline, making it one of the largest lakes in the north metro.
Because of its size, Forest Lake offers a wide range of waterfront properties and lake environments.
The lake is made up of three basins, which creates different experiences depending on where a home is located. Some sections are more active with boating and recreation, while others offer quieter residential shoreline.
The surrounding city of Forest Lake also has a strong lake-town atmosphere, with restaurants, shops, and community events that bring residents together throughout the year.
Waterfront homes on Forest Lake range from classic seasonal cabins to large custom homes built over the past decade.
Because of its size and accessibility to the Twin Cities, Forest Lake continues to attract buyers looking for lake living while still remaining within commuting distance of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Many buyers exploring the northern suburbs lakes also compare Forest Lake with nearby lakes such as White Bear Lake and Bald Eagle Lake.
Many buyers and sellers also like to see examples of the types of waterfront properties we’ve represented across the northern suburbs.
