With about 8,000 residents and homes available in a variety of price ranges, the Orono MN real estate market is a community that is inviting and charming. Located along the banks of Lake Minnetonka, Orono offers many opportunities for residents who love the outdoors. Our family enjoys going to the lake and fishing or swimming during the winter months and we have even been known to go ice skating when the lake is frozen over. And since this is the 10th largest lake in Minnesota, there is plenty of room for the entire community to come out and have a good time.
Another great thing that I appreciate about living in an Orono home is the city’s Adopt-a-Green-Space Program. I was one of the residents that signed up this year to “adopt” an area of natural land in Orono and keep it free of any trash, litter or debris. I also planted flowers in my area and my family goes out to weed it every couple weeks to help keep our community one that we can be proud of.
