The lake chart

A town built between lakes.

Lindstrom's communities sit along the shores of North Lindstrom, South Lindstrom and North Center lakes, inside or just outside the city limits. Each number matches its row in the register below. The line east is the drive to our entrance on U.S. 8, one tick for each minute.

The register

Lindstrom first, then the short drives.

Sorted by drive time from the middle of Lindstrom. Lot rent, ages and storage are what each community reports on the source linked in its row: the four Lindstrom listings read Oct 15, 2026, the rest Oct 13, 2026. Those figures are self-reported and can be years out of date, so treat them as a starting point and ask.

Reading the rows

What the Lindstrom four add up to.

Listed rent in town runs $350 to $540.

That's Stonegate Cooperative at the low end and Blue Waters at the high end, as listed on MHVillage on Oct 15, 2026; Hillcrest Park doesn't publish a rent. Across all 9 rows the listed range is $350 to $540, with Shafer Terrace at $500 and Redfield Court at $400. How lot rent works in Minnesota.

Not every one is year-round.

A listing for the Hillcrest Park property, read Oct 15, 2026, calls it a seasonal RV park and marina on North Center Lake, though MHVillage still lists it as a home community. If you plan to live here all year, ask each community whether its sites are open year-round and whether water runs in winter.

Six of nine are all ages.

In town, Stonegate Cooperative, Blue Waters and Hillcrest Park list themselves as all ages, and Lakeshore Terrace lists an age restriction of 55 and older. Within 15 minutes, Croix Estates and River Bend are also age-restricted; both of ours are open to all ages.

One is owned by its residents.

Stonegate Cooperative is a resident-owned community, owned by a cooperative of the homeowners who live there, and it lists boat and RV storage. Shafer Terrace is the only other row that lists storage. At ours, you own your home and rent the land under it.

Lot rent next to renting

What renting costs in Lindstrom.

Zillow's rental market page for Lindstrom puts average rent at $1,400 a month across all bedroom counts and property types, last updated Oct 13, 2026. That figure rests on a small number of listings (five available when we read it on Oct 15, 2026), so it moves month to month.

Lot rent is a different thing. It covers only the land under a home you own. The home itself, its property tax and its insurance are separate costs, whether you pay cash or borrow. How buying a home here works, and how owners may qualify for Minnesota's homestead credit refund.

Before you pick

Four questions for any Lindstrom community.

The rows above get you a short list. These get you the rest, at any community, ours included. Get the answers in writing. The Forest Lake comparison has the longer checklist, with the Minnesota rules on rent increases and fees.

  • Is the site year-round?

    Around the lakes, some sites are seasonal. Ask whether you can live there in January, and whether water and plowing run all winter.

  • What does lot rent include?

    One Lindstrom listing names trash, water/sewer and snow removal; others don't say. Ask for the list and what's billed on top.

  • What's the age policy?

    Rows here are all ages or age-restricted to 55 and older. Get the current policy in writing before you buy a home.

  • How does a resale get approved?

    In Minnesota, a buyer has to be approved by the community before the sale of a home in the park is final. Ask how long approval takes.

If you’re weighing it

Why look outside Lindstrom at all?

If you want to stay in town, the four Lindstrom rows above are the whole list. Six minutes east adds two all-ages communities, Shafer Terrace and Redfield Court, and Shafer Terrace has boat and RV storage on site. In this register only Stonegate Cooperative and Shafer Terrace list storage.

Do I give up the lakes?

Not really; they stay six minutes back west, and Kichisaga Park in Lindstrom is one of the two access points for the Chisago Lakes Water Trail. Shafer adds the other direction: two Swedish Immigrant Trail trailheads are in Shafer, and Interstate State Park is about 6 minutes from the entrance.

What does lot rent cover at Shafer Terrace and Redfield Court?

Rent is $500 a month at Shafer Terrace and $400 at Redfield Court. Each community’s lot lease puts trash pickup and snow plowing of the community’s roads in the rent; you pay your other utilities. What Minnesota law says about lot rent and increases.

Is there an opening?

Rarely. Shafer Terrace seldom has one, and Redfield Court is full, with a waitlist. One list covers both, and George reaches out when a home or home site opens. Joining the list isn’t an application.
