The Lakes of Blaine

What is The Lakes in Blaine?

 by Rachel Scarrella

The Lakes is a comprehensive planned residential community consisting of 1080 acres in Blaine, MN.  Conveniently located just north of the Twin Cities, The Lakes is designed to conserve the topography and trees on which the development is built.  Clusters of Oakwoods and wetlands surround the residential homes and open spaces.  The east side of the developments also backs up to 65 acres of preserved wetlands.  The development consists of 36% parks and open space.  The trail system boasts 15 miles of pedestrian paths, 4 miles of bike paths and 2 miles of regional trails.
   A key main feature of The Lakes is the 159 acres of interconnected waterways of lakes, ponds, and bays.  There are also 1.4 miles of public accessible shorelines. Swimming beaches, canoe launches, fishing areas, and more are all enjoyed on the water ways in this development.

The Lakes consists of single family and town home units built or being built by the following builders: Gorham Builders, Hans Hagen Homes, Hanson Builders, Sharper Homes, Semler Homes, Rotlund Homes, and TJB Homes.  Styles and sizes vary.

With its close proximity to downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis, its natural setting, and all of the amenities, The Lakes makes for a perfect development to call home.
