"Great Accessibility for Commuters"
Woodbury is a carefully planned suburb of approximately 58,000 residents located between St. Paul and the Wisconsin border. Although it is home to many corporations, large commercial districts and a fine hospital, convenient freeway access makes Woodbury a favorite commuter city.
Originally a farming community, Woodbury quickly turned residential with the building boom of the 1950s. Despite the rapid growth of the city, there are many new developments and buildable land is available.

"Woodbury Real Estate"
Woodbury
Woodbury is proximate to St, Paul, Minnesota’s Capital City. It is a favorite relocation area among those already employed nearby and those looking for work opportunities in the area considering that it is also proximate to the 3M Corporation, one of the largest employers of the state. Another reason why Woodbury is attractive as a relocation area is the wide-range of choices when it comes to the city’s housing which comes in the form of town homes, apartment or even large estates.
It is an ideal place both as a resident and a place for business, The latter is evident with the city’s thriving business community with the likes of EcoWater Systems, Target.com, Assurant, The Hartford, eFunds and Long Term Care Group.
This Twin Cities suburb is a vibrant community that has shown potential for growth given the city’s resources. Such growth has been properly planned and mapped out by the city officials and the growth you are seeing now is just a product of such efforts.
Woodbury is a clean and green city with a dedicated park land measuring 3,000 acres. It has an ideal public park system, eight small lakes as well as multi-trails for residents and visitors. It is a good place to raise children and to retire considering the variety of sports facilities including the Eagle Valley golf course as well as the Bielenberg Sports Center.
History
A stone painted by Dakota Chief Little Crow is supposedly the basis for naming the city Red Rock. However the name was changed to Woodbury in 1859 in honor of New Hampshire Judge Levi Woodbury.
Woodbury is a culturally-rich are with immigrants coming from as far as Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Scotland and even Ireland. These people have settled in the area and have intermarried creating a rich heritage for the city. The development of housing in the area started in 1955 and has started to replace the fertile farmlands. Despite the growth of housing and commercial areas in Woodbury, the city managed to maintain lots of open spaces to balance urban development.
Woodbury started as a township in 1858 and the first town hall was built only in 1876. However, education was already a priority in the town with seven schools already organized by 1868.

"Woodbury is the ideal community on the East side of the Twin Cities"
As real estate agents in Woodbury for so many years we know every neighborhood and the pros and cons of the community. The positives of Woodbury far outweigh any negatives. We strongly believe Woodbury is the ideal community on the East side of the Twin Cities with minimal work commute traffic compared to other communities around the cities. It also has phenomenal shopping and dining opportunities with great night life. For those people relocating into the community Woodbury has wonderful and high rated schools from elementary all the way through high school. There is post secondary schools (Globe College) located in Woodbury, or directly across the freeway (Rasmussen College) from Woodbury.
Other Woodbury positives is that it is only 15-minutes from the 3M Center, approx. 20-minutes to the MPLS/St. Paul airport, and 20 minutes to downtown St. Paul. Downtown MPLS is only 30-minutes away allowing residents to easily commute for work, as well as have unlimited entertainment and recreation opportunities. Additionally, we like the fact that there is over 100-miles of connecting trails within the city of Woodbury that allow for walking, hiking, biking, or roller blading. For those outdoor and water enthusiasts WI is only 15-minutes East of Woodbury, as well as the amazingly beautiful St. Croix river for recreation opportunities.
