ABOUT OSSEO, MN
Osseo is a small city of roughly 2,700 residents in northwest Hennepin County, about 15 miles northwest of Minneapolis. It's almost entirely landlocked by Maple Grove, which gives Osseo access to all the retail and amenities of a much larger suburb while preserving its own small-town feel. Osseo's historic Main Street, century-old homes, and community events define the city's character.

NEIGHBORHOODS & SUBDIVISIONS IN OSSEO
Osseo's housing is predominantly older single-family character homes — bungalows, 1920s-era craftsmans, and mid-century single-family. The streets around Main Street are the most walkable and command the highest per-square-foot prices. A small inventory of newer townhomes and multi-family exists near Central Avenue. Buyers looking for charming older homes in a walkable downtown will find Osseo delivers what many bigger suburbs can't.

SCHOOLS
Osseo is served by Osseo Area Schools (ISD 279), feeding Osseo Senior High (Orioles). Elementary options include Rice Lake Elementary and Palmer Lake Elementary. The district is large, suburban-competitive, and offers strong AP and activity programs.

LIFESTYLE & RECREATION IN OSSEO
Osseo's Main Street is the draw — locally owned restaurants, the Osseo Farmers Market, and a walkable downtown core. Because Osseo is surrounded by Maple Grove, you're minutes from Arbor Lakes retail, Eagle Lake, and the Three Rivers Park District. Osseo Lions Roar Days each summer is a genuine community event that brings the whole city together. The combination of small-town character and big-suburb amenities makes Osseo uniquely livable.

OSSEO REAL ESTATE MARKET SNAPSHOT
