Title
North Oaks, Minnesota - Premier Residential Community
Description
The City of North Oaks is a planned residential community covering approximately 6,500 acres of rolling wooded hills, open fields, lakes and wetlands in northern Ramsey County in the northeast quadrant of the Twin Cities.
Most of the area within the present city limits was at one time known as the North Oaks Farm which was established in 1883 by James J. Hill, financier and railroad builder. In 1950, L. W. Hill, Jr. formed the North Oaks Company and began the development of the community, including a private 18 - hole golf course. See article from Town Life magazine July/August 2004.
The development plan preserves the natural beauty of the area. Wherever possible, roads and homes are built to leave the natural topography, drainage, woodlands, and wetlands undisturbed. Winding roads, cul-de-sacs, and the absence of sidewalks and the limited use of street lights all contribute to the privacy and seclusion of the residents.
