Lake Reshanau sits in Lino Lakes and is part of the Centennial School District, which is a big draw for a lot of families looking in this area.
It’s a smaller lake compared to some of the bigger northern suburb lakes, but that’s also part of the appeal.
The lake is about 336 acres with a max depth around 16 feet, so it’s on the shallower side. That usually means lighter boat traffic and a quieter feel overall.
What Buyers Like About Lake Reshanau
Most people looking at Lake Reshanau are looking for a quieter lake lifestyle.
You’re not going to see the amount of boat traffic you get on larger lakes like White Bear Lake or Forest Lake. It’s more relaxed — pontoon rides, fishing, and time on the dock.
For buyers looking specifically in the Centennial School District, there are only a few lakes where you can truly boat.
The other two primary boating lakes in the district are:
• Centerville Lake
• Peltier Lake
Both are larger lakes and see more boating activity throughout the summer.
Homes Around the Lake
The homes around Lake Reshanau are a mix.
Like many lakes in the area, some properties started as 1950s splits, while others have been updated or rebuilt over time. We saw major expansion in the 1999-2000s on the water here.
When buyers evaluate lake property here, they’re usually looking closely at things like:
• shoreline quality
• water depth off the dock
• lot width
• elevation to the lake
Those factors tend to influence value more than the house itself.
Pricing on Lake Reshanau
Recent sales on Lake Reshanau have generally fallen in the range of roughly $650,000 up to $1.5M+, depending on the lot, shoreline, and the home itself.
Some properties trade closer to the lower end if they’re smaller homes or older cabins, while newer or updated homes with better lots can push toward the higher end of that range.
Final Thoughts
Every lake in the northern suburbs has its own personality.
Some lakes are busy and highly recreational. Others are quieter and feel more residential.
Lake Reshanau tends to fall into that quieter category. For buyers who want to be on the water in the Centennial School District but prefer a calmer lake environment, it’s definitely a lake worth knowing about.
