Birchwood offers a serene, lake-forward lifestyle with quick access to urban amenities. Tucked along the eastern shoreline of White Bear Lake in Washington County, the city’s quiet streets, mature trees, and walkable blocks make everyday life feel relaxed yet connected. Residents spend summer evenings paddling or picnicking at nearby Bellaire Beach, a Ramsey County favorite with swimming and scenic views, and winter weekends skating and snowshoeing on local trails and rinks.
Families appreciate strong academics through Mahtomedi Public Schools, where innovative programs and high-performing schools anchor the community. Explore district offerings at Mahtomedi High School and beyond via Mahtomedi Public Schools. Higher education is close, too, with Century College providing continuing education, workforce training, and transfer pathways.
Dining, boutiques, and year-round events in Mahtomedi, Dellwood, and downtown White Bear Lake are minutes away, including the lively summer series Marketfest. Arts lovers can find classes, exhibits, and performances at White Bear Center for the Arts. Outdoor enthusiasts can branch out to Washington County Parks for regional lakes, trails, and playgrounds, or bike the paved Gateway State Trail all the way toward Saint Paul.
