Located on the northern shore of Lake Minnetonka, Orono is a small city with an appreciation for natural beauty, the arts, and the pristine waters of Lake Minnetonka.
Here’s what to know, whether you’re selling, buying or just curious.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What to know
With a prime location as a lakeshore city, Orono truly stands out with its beautiful old-growth forests and longstanding history. Despite its small population of close to 8,000, and limited number of businesses within its city bounds, Orono is well connected to the surrounding cities. It is through these connections that the citizens of Orono are able to attain the conveniences of city life without having to tack on the noise that city life brings.
Being a lakeshore city, Orono’s citizens rely heavily on boat travel in addition to standard car travel. With a number of small islands and boat-friendly businesses in and around Lake Minnetonka, there is no shortage of destinations for Orono’s residents to explore. The main highway route for Orono’s citizens is highway 12, which connects it to Wayzata and leads to larger state highways 394 and 494. The city is located about 35 minutes directly west of Minneapolis. It is this superior access by road and lake that maintains Orono’s connection to the outside world while simultaneously giving it a secluded and peaceful feel. The luxurious and elegant homes located in and around Orono are truly remarkable and offer a contemporary and serene way of life.
