Seven homes, a lot of trees, and a quiet road off Brown Road. Creek Ridge Pass is small on purpose.
Creek Ridge Pass is in central Orono, off Brown Road just south of Watertown Road. It has about 7 single-family homes, ramblers and traditional styles, set among mature trees.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Noerenberg Memorial County Park, Orono’s golf, and Wolsfeld Woods and Wood-Rill Scientific and Natural Areas are close. Colonial Square in Wayzata, Ridgedale Center and Plymouth’s city center are short drives. See Orono parks and trails.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Creek Ridge Pass is served by Orono Public Schools (ISD 278), whose schools share a campus along Old Crystal Bay Road, including Schumann Elementary, Orono Intermediate, Orono Middle and Orono High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Well and septic: Some Orono homes use private wells and septic systems. Plan a well test and septic inspection where they apply.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
