Annandale / Maple Lake, Minnesota

About the Area

For many years Annandale has served as an easy getaway for Twin Cities executives with busy schedules. Close enough to commute back and forth to Minneapolis, it can make for the perfect summer home…even when you aren't on vacation!

Many of the lakes here are as good as those in Northern Minnesota. Lake Sylvia is the crown jewel with its 1,500 acres of sparkling clear waters and uniquely woodsy backdrop. As you can probably imagine, the lake properties on Sylvia also tend to have a price tag that goes with its Twin Cities proximity and its natural beauty.

But Annandale has an abundance of large lakes with good water quality, which is probably what keeps the prices somewhat in check. Sugar Lake, Cedar Lake, Lake Francis and Lake John are other favorite getaways in this Western Wright County Area. You will also find dozens of smaller lakes that vary in quality from excellent to marginal, and carrying all price tags.

If you like to be close to the business district, Pleasant Lake may be an option for you. The southern half of the lake sits right along the residential streets of the town, and gives a rich water accent to the community. But if you enjoy big water instead, you will find the granddaddy of all the area lakes just a few miles to the north, as Clearwater Lake extends over 3,000 acres in all directions…and then into the Clearwater River. Lakefront and riverfront cabins will become less expensive along the smaller water bodies to the north and west, around the communities of Kimball and Fairhaven.

If you don't want to travel quite as far as Annandale, Maple Lake provides great fishing and recreation just a few miles to the west of Buffalo. At almost 800 acres and with good water clarity, it is popular for both cabins and year-round homes. It tends to be a little less densely wooded than some of the lakes further west, but you can plant a lot of trees for the amount of gas you will save commuting. The city of Maple Lake sits at the west end of the lake, and you will find several other good lakes throughout the area.

There is a wide variety of waterfront real estate opportunities throughout Western Wright County. Contact any of our Annandale or Maple Lake real estate specialists to learn more.
