ABOUT ANDOVER, MN

Andover sits in southern Anoka County, about 25 miles north of downtown Minneapolis along the Highway 10 and Highway 65 corridors. The city of roughly 32,000 blends established neighborhoods with newer construction on its north and east edges. Andover is known for generous lot sizes, well-maintained parks, and a distinctly outdoor-oriented culture — Bunker Hills Regional Park, Round Lake, and the Rum River are all close by. It's a city where kids still bike to the pool in summer.

NEIGHBORHOODS & SUBDIVISIONS IN ANDOVER

Andover neighborhoods include Red Oaks of Andover, Woodland Creek, Parkside Pointe, Shadowbrook, Red Pine Estates, and the newer communities along 161st and Crosstown. Andover Station offers higher-density townhomes and walkable retail. Older established areas west of Hanson Boulevard feature larger lots on mature tree-lined streets.

Retail and dining sit along Bunker Lake Boulevard and Hanson, with an easy ten-minute drive to Riverdale in Coon Rapids for everything else.
