Located approximately 20 minutes north of St. Paul, White Bear Lake, with her sister city, Vadnais Heights, are rapidly growing communities offering many amenities to their residents such as the bustling White Bear Lake Downtown, quaint residential neighborhoods and a dynamic business district among the area's natural features.

Historically, White Bear Lake's major claim to fame was as the vacation hot spot for Chicago area gangsters during Prohibition, even though, for a gangster a vacation amounted to fleeing town until things "cooled off." White Bear Lake is also likely the setting of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" as the St. Paul, MN native describes a curiously similar-sounding locale: "Black Bear Lake." Mob notwithstanding, these cities are very safe, viable communities in which to raise a family or spend your retirement years.

Residents of White Bear Lake and Vadnais Heights are very comfortable with the nature surrounding them and make every effort to capitalize on it. Between the vast 2,500 acre White Bear Lake and 1,200 acre Sucker Lake Regional Park in Vadnais Heights, there is a wide array of opportunity to participate in the outdoors or merely admire it. Many homes naturally ease into the landscape and range from the modest single-story rambler flanked by a wooded lot or wetland, to a more grandiose 5-bedroom, 6-bath variety with a lake view.
