      • The number of Lake Homes in Annandale, MN selling for over $1 million has exploded since the Pandemic (2020)

        Annandale, Minnesota—often called the “Heart of the Lakes”—has emerged as one of the most desirable lake home destinations in the state, particularly for affluent buyers looking for a premier retreat within easy driving distance of Minneapolis. With more than 26 lakes in the immediate area and charming small-town appeal, Annandale has seen a surge in high-end residential demand over since the pandemic (2020). What was once considered a quiet, affordable getaway has transformed into a competitive market, with an increasing number of homes selling for over $1 million. These premium properties often feature expansive lake frontage, custom designs, and modern amenities that rival those found in more widely known vacation hubs.


        Unlike the Brainerd Lakes or Crosslake areas—which often require a 2–3 hour drive from the Twin Cities—Annandale offers luxury lake living with the convenience of a short commute, making it ideal for second-home owners, weekend residents, or even full-time remote professionals. Its growing reputation as a year-round destination has pushed property values significantly higher, especially on sought-after lakes like Clearwater, Cedar, Sugar, and Pleasant. As a result, Annandale is increasingly seen as the refined alternative to more remote northern destinations—offering both natural beauty and proximity to the metro area.

        Since 2021, home prices increased 40% and the # of lake homes selling over $1 million increased significantly

        Lake Syliva, Clearwater Lake, Sugar Lake and Cedar Lake have the most home sales over $1 million
