Considering a Home in North Oaks?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands North Oaks and the surrounding Twin Cities Metro golf market.
North Oaks is a private, planned home-rule city in Ramsey County built out by the North Oaks Company (descended from the James J. Hill family) starting in the 1950s around a new Stanley Thompson-designed golf course. Every road in the city is privately owned by homeowners and maintained by the North Oaks Homeowners Association, with guarded/monitored entrances -- a genuinely unusual governance structure among Minnesota communities.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Homeownership in North Oaks does not include or require North Oaks Golf Club membership, which is a separate paid product with its own initiation fee and dues; however, homeownership does come with the community's own private-road, HOA-governed access structure distinct from the golf club.
Living in North Oaks
The North Oaks Company has continued releasing new development phases for decades, most recently the subject of a settlement between Hill family descendants and the city over the pace of remaining build-out. Homes range widely in size and price, with large lots and heavy tree cover typical throughout.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Beyond the golf club, residents have access to a swimming beach, parks, and an extensive private trail network across the community's 660+ acres of conservation land.
Location & Surrounding Area
North Oaks sits roughly 20 minutes north of downtown St. Paul in Ramsey County.
