Ready to make a move?I’ll show you what homes nearby are really selling for and which streets fit your budget.

What to know

The city is located within Ramsey County. Because of its location, New Brighton is mainly a residential suburb of the Twin Cities. Neighboring the cities of Mounds View, Arden Hills, and Columbia Heights, New Brighton has easy access to all of the amenities that these cities have to offer.

Although New Brighton is only 13 minutes from Minneapolis and 16 minutes from St. Paul, it still feels like a small town. It is a middle-outer ring suburb of the Twin Cities, which places it as a convenient distance from the downtown rush. Interstate 35W runs along New Brighton’s eastern border, and Interstate 694 runs through the middle of New Brighton. These major roads provide residents with access to the majority of the metro area.

With its great residential area, convenient location, and easy access to the metro, New Brighton is a premier residential suburb. Please check out our supporting articles that provide more information about living in this community.

A simple plan for your New Brighton move

I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.

1Get clear on the numbersFor sellers, a realistic value for your specific home. For buyers, what your budget actually buys in the neighborhoods you like.
2Walk it with a builder’s eyeWe spot what an inspector is likely to flag before it becomes a negotiation.
3Prepare or positionSellers get a prep list and a staging plan. Buyers get a short list of homes that truly fit.
4Move with confidenceOffers, inspections and closing, with one steady guide keeping it calm and on schedule.

Getting the house ready, or making it yours

If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise. Ready to talk? Start a buyer plan or ask what your home is worth.
