Maple Plain, MN

Located about twenty miles west of Minneapolis along Highway 12, Maple Plain offers a quiet, small-town atmosphere tucked into the rolling landscape of western Hennepin County. With around 1,700 residents, it has a relaxed, friendly feel where tree-lined residential streets and local parks make up the core of everyday life.

Families are often drawn to the area for the highly regarded Orono School District, which serves local students. Outdoor recreation is a major perk, with Lake Independence, Pioneer Creek, and the expansive trails at Baker Park Reserve just minutes down the road for boating, fishing, and hiking. For big-box shopping, healthcare, and dining out, neighboring hubs like Plymouth and Wayzata are an easy drive away, keeping everyday necessities within easy reach.
