About Lakeland

Lakeland sits right along the scenic St. Croix River in eastern Washington County, directly across the water from Hudson, Wisconsin. Home to around 1,700 residents, this peaceful river town blends quiet, wooded neighborhoods and historic charm with great convenience. Interstate 94 runs along the southern edge of town, making it easy to commute into the Twin Cities or cross the river into Hudson, while Highway 95 leads straight north to downtown Stillwater.

Capt. John Oliver House

Everyday life here centers on the outdoors, with scenic water views, neighborhood parks, and quick access to the St. Croix River. Families are part of the well-regarded Stillwater Area Public School District, with Afton-Lakeland Elementary located right in town and older students attending campuses nearby. With its relaxed pace, leafy streets, and easy access to both Minnesota and western Wisconsin, Lakeland offers classic river valley living within a short drive of the metro.
