Houlton rewards everyday life with river views, quick commutes, and an easy-going, outdoorsy rhythm. Set along the St. Croix River at the eastern end of the St. Croix Crossing, it offers instant access to the boutiques and dining of Stillwater and the amenities of nearby Hudson, all while maintaining the quieter pace many residents seek in St. Croix County.
Weekends practically plan themselves: launch a canoe on the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, hike to the falls and swim at Willow River State Park, or bike quiet country roads toward Somerset. Homesteads on tree-lined lanes sit alongside newer builds, and many properties make room for gardens, gear, and gathering with neighbors.
Families appreciate that students are served by the Hudson School District, known for strong academics, robust arts and athletics, and extensive community education. Daily needs are close at hand in Hudson or Stillwater, from grocery runs and medical care to riverfront cafés and seasonal festivals. Commuters enjoy straightforward routes into the Twin Cities, while those who work from home find reliable services and peaceful settings that make the most of Houlton’s scenic backdrop.
