Dellwood

Ornell Group Real Estate — Northern Suburbs Luxury & Waterfront Specialists

Dellwood is one of the most prestigious and private communities in the Twin Cities. Known for its wooded acreage, custom estates, quiet roads, and proximity to White Bear Lake, Dellwood offers a level of privacy and refinement that is rare in the northern suburbs.

The area attracts buyers who want space, architectural quality, and a peaceful setting while staying close to high-performing schools, country clubs, and the amenities of nearby Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake. As a Realtor who studies this corridor closely, I help clients understand the land, the neighborhoods, and the long-term value patterns that make Dellwood one of the most stable luxury markets in Minnesota.

Dellwood Overview
Dellwood sits just north of White Bear Lake and east of North Oaks. The city is defined by large lots, deep setbacks, mature trees, and carefully planned residential development. Most homes sit on 1–5 acres, creating an estate-like feel throughout the community.

Neighborhoods and Housing Styles
Dellwood features:

wooded estate properties
custom architect-built homes
traditional and transitional two-stories
acreage ramblers and walkouts
modern rebuilds near White Bear Lake
quiet, private neighborhoods with long driveways and natural landscapes

Homes in Dellwood lean toward quality, craftsmanship, and longevity. Architecture is purposeful, and turnover remains low due to long-term residency and consistent demand.

White Bear Lake Proximity
Dellwood’s close connection to White Bear Lake is one of its strongest value drivers. Residents benefit from fast access to marinas, lake recreation, restaurants, and the walkable downtown district — all without the density of lakeshore living.

Dellwood Country Club
Dellwood Country Club is a major lifestyle anchor for the community. The club offers championship golf, tennis, dining, pool, fitness, and year-round events. Members appreciate the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere paired with high-quality facilities. Many Dellwood buyers choose the area specifically for the club’s convenience and community feel.

7 Vines Vineyard
Located minutes from Dellwood, 7 Vines Vineyard adds another level of lifestyle appeal. The vineyard offers tasting experiences, events, live music, and sweeping views that feel far from the metro while still being close to home. Residents enjoy the ease of stopping by for dinner, wine flights, or weekend gatherings. It remains one of the most visited and photographed destinations in the region.

Schools
Dellwood is served primarily by Mahtomedi Public Schools, one of the strongest school districts in Minnesota. Families value the district’s consistent academic performance, strong arts and STEM programs, and supportive community environment. Several nearby private schools, including Hill-Murray, Gentry Academy, and Liberty Classical Academy, offer additional choices.

Lifestyle and Recreation
Dellwood supports an outdoor, active, and private lifestyle. Residents enjoy:

nearby White Bear Lake access
golf and social activities at Dellwood Country Club
wine and events at 7 Vines Vineyard
quiet walking and biking routes
proximity to Stillwater and the St. Croix River Valley
local dining and shopping in White Bear Lake

The community offers a peaceful pace of living with easy access to high-end amenities in every direction.
