About Zimmerman, MN
Zimmerman sits on Highway 169 about 40 miles north of Minneapolis and the same distance east of St. Cloud — close enough to commute, far enough to breathe. The city of roughly 5,500 spans Sherburne County between the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge to the west and the chain of recreational lakes that make the area a year-round outdoor playground. Homes range from early-1900s farmhouses on wooded acreage to newer Craftsman-style builds with private lake access. If you want a little elbow room and a genuine small-town feel without giving up your Twin Cities commute, Zimmerman delivers
