A quaint city just north of Blaine. The main street through Ham Lake is Highway 65, which is the path to shopping, amenities and schools. Many residents have called this home their entire life. It has seen much growth in the past 10 years. A friendly place to call home.
Pros
  • Privacy, Acreage lots
