Mahtomedi, MN

Mahtomedi is a St. Paul suburb in Washington County, set near White Bear Lake. Platted in 1883, it grew with lake-country appeal and still has a quieter, greener feel than many Twin Cities suburbs. The city is known locally for schools and girls' soccer, and its neighborhoods sit close to parks, trails, and the lake. Mahtomedi feels small, residential, and established, with St. Paul close enough for commuting but White Bear Lake shaping much of the local atmosphere.
