"A little bit Country"

Independence is perfect if you are looking for a great home with a little "elbow room". Many homes have a couple acres or more so it's a wonderful place for those who have horses or just don't want neighbors living on top of you. It is a very manageable commute to Minneapolis and it's in the Award Winning Orono School District. You can find homes in most every price range too.
Pros
  • Orono Schools
  • Acreage Homes
  • Great for Horses
Cons
  • 45 Minutes to Minneapolis
