Stillwater MLS Listings Minnesota Located on the bluffs above the St. Croix River, Stillwater is one of the most historic cities in Minnesota. Founded in the early 19th century, it was the site of the initial statehood convention for the state. Its historic downtown, full of specialty shops, galleries, and restaurants makes Stillwater a popular destination for visitors, while contemporary homes and extensive shopping is available elsewhere in the city, along Hwy 36. For working Stillwater residents, the commute into the main part of the metro area can be a bit tedious, but life in the quiet setting of Stillwater makes all the difference.
From activities along the river, including the city’s popular Lumberjack Days annual festival, and access to several small lakes and parks, to strolling or dining in the historic downtown district, Stillwater residents enjoy the peaceful, quiet feeling of this city. With a growth spurt in the past two decades, a wide range of comfortable, spacious homes has appeared in the open areas of Stillwater. These attract commuters and retired Minnesotans who want to get away from urban noise and stress. For families, the public schools in Stillwater offer a high-quality educational experience, adding to the attraction.
Stillwater is still growing, and a number of lots in the city are available, in a wide price range. Bargains in homes under $100,000 are limited, and are primarily modest condominiums and townhouses, although a few foreclosed single-family homes appear in that price range in Stillwater MLS listings. Between $100,000 and $200,000, home seekers will find more condominiums and townhomes, along with a few single-family homes in the older neighborhoods near downtown, some over 100 years old. Options expand in the $200-300,000 range, and include river view condominiums in downtown Stillwater and historic and recent single-family homes. The $300-500,000 price range includes luxury condominiums, restored 19th century homes, and spacious recent homes in several developments located in the western portion of the city. A few lake view and riverside homes also are available in this price range. Above $500,000, unique properties and homes fill out the rest of the listings.
