Buffalo, MN Real Estate

Buffalo, Minnesota is a charming community located approximately 40 miles northwest of Minneapolis and situated around several lakes including Lake Buffalo, Lake Pulaski, and Lake Martha. The modern city is not so far-removed from its beginning as a resort town for wealthy metro-area day-trippers in the 1800s. Buffalo still boasts the pristine lakes and culture of a more laid-back time while also offering cultural, business and employment opportunities of a more urban area. A prime location to raise a family outside of the metro but still remain close to the Twin Cities, Buffalo has experienced tremendous growth in recent years.

You'll find a thriving arts scene with community theater and orchestra programs, a "Main Street America" shopping district in Downtown Buffalo-a holiday shopping destination for people across Minnesota; if you just can't wait until November, check out "Crazy Days" in July, when area merchants half their prices and the crowds go wild. This is a close-knit community that comes together to support their local high school athletics, celebrate their cities' many amenities during Buffalo Days, and keep their town beautiful through projects such as the community garden plots, all-city Spring Cleanup and Arbor Day Restoration Project. And no small-town Minnesota destination would be complete without the summer Farmers' Market, or annual arts and crafts festival and Buffalo doesn't disappoint in these categories!

Homes range from single-story ramblers in cute neighborhoods with huge backyards, to split-levels perfect for the handyman or woman in the family to apply some TLC, to the more luxurious, "ready-to-wear," lakefront estates with 5 baths, vaulted ceilings and marble kitchen countertops. There's a wide range to fit every families' needs and means.

Local Flavor: Check out Buffalo Books and Coffee; Loaf and Ladle; Buffalo Bar and Grill; Waterstones Restaurant; Sweets and Treats Playhouse.

Area Shopping: Some of the best antique and collectible, and unique gifts shopping in the state: some offerings include Annie's Attic; PANDORAS; Second-Hand Rose and The Bead Café to name a few.

Around Town: Tee up and picturesque Wild Marsh Golf Club; Buffalo Lake you can rent paddle boats or canoes or if you're a land-lubber enjoy miles of scenic biking trails. Take the kids to the free Tier I outdoor skate park and enjoy Buffalo Days for a week in the summer, featuring the Buffalo Triathlon and Buffalo 5K; breakfast at the airport and airplane rides, concert in the park, fireworks, parade, carnival, beer garden, and medallion hunt. Visit Deer Lake Orchard in the fall to view the beautiful fall foliage, partake in the tasting of over 26 varieties of apples, and pick up that perfect pumpkin.

Local Lingo: The mosquito: Minnesota's OTHER state bird!
