Pine Springs blends a tranquil, wooded setting with quick access to the metro. Tucked between Mahtomedi and Maplewood in Washington County, this small city is known for spacious lots, winding streets, and the glimmer of Pine Tree Lake. Residents appreciate the short hop to Highway 36 and I‑694 for commutes, then return home to bird song, night skies, and trail time on the nearby Gateway State Trail. Housing ranges from mid‑century ramblers to custom homes on acreage, and residents value a calm, low‑traffic feel without sacrificing proximity to jobs, universities, and medical care.
Families value the strong academics of Mahtomedi Public Schools, with neighborhood schools, award‑winning arts, and competitive athletics; college‑minded learners also benefit from programs at Century College and private options like Hill-Murray School. Weekend plans might include skating and sledding in season, paddling on local lakes, or a nature walk right next door after school events. Community services run through the county and nearby cities, keeping life simple while the area’s parks and programming add variety throughout the year. When it’s time to move, Agent Pronto makes it easy for buyers and sellers to find a trusted real estate agent who knows Pine Springs.
