Stacy, MN

Stacy is a quiet community in Chisago County, located just north of Forest Lake and roughly 40 minutes northeast of the Twin Cities. It offers a relaxed, small-town atmosphere with plenty of open space and wooded acreage, having expanded in recent years after merging with neighboring Lent Township. Commuting and running errands are straightforward thanks to Forest Boulevard and nearby Interstate 35, which connect residents directly to the northern metro and neighboring retail hubs like Wyoming.
