North Oaks

North Oaks

North Oaks is a unique suburban community rich in history. Located northeast of Saint Paul, the 5,000 residents of North Oaks work to maintain the area’s natural environment. Because every resident’s property extends to half-way across the road, all residential roads are private and are intended for their use or the use of their guests only. The city owns no property, and the North Oaks Home Owner’s Association owns the park, recreation area and trails in the city.
