Moving to & Living in Woodbury, MN — 2026 Relocation Guide
The east metro's biggest growth suburb — newer housing, I-94/494 access, and heavy inbound relocation.
What it's like living in Woodbury
Woodbury is the east metro's answer to Maple Grove: a fast-growing Washington County suburb built mostly after 1990, anchored by Tamarack Village retail and the I-94 / I-494 interchange. It pulls families out of St. Paul, Maplewood, and western Wisconsin, and it's one of the most common destinations on our east-metro quote board.
Living here means newer homes, wide streets, and a strong trail network — with the trade-off that daily life is car-based and downtown St. Paul is a highway trip rather than a walk. Move-day logistics are generally simple, which is why Woodbury quotes often come in below comparable-size moves in older St. Paul neighborhoods.
Woodbury neighborhoods, and how each one moves
Tamarack / Woodbury Lakes
Apartments and townhomes near retail — elevator buildings with dedicated loading.
Eagle Valley
Established family neighborhoods with mature landscaping and standard driveway access.
Stonemill Farms
Newer traditional-neighborhood-design homes; alley-loaded garages change truck staging.
Dancing Waters
Newer construction with wide streets — the easiest large-home access in the city.
Colby Lake
Lakeside single-family homes; some narrow lake-adjacent approaches.
Housing in Woodbury
Two-story single-family homes, executive homes on the east and south sides, and a heavy townhome market. Newer traditional-neighborhood developments such as Stonemill Farms use alley-loaded garages, which changes where we can stage the truck. Apartment supply is newer and concentrated near CityPlace and Woodbury Lakes.
Getting around & commuting from Woodbury
I-94 runs straight into downtown St. Paul in about 15–20 minutes off-peak; downtown Minneapolis is typically 30–40 minutes. I-494 connects south toward Cottage Grove and north toward Oakdale and Maplewood. Express bus service runs from park-and-rides along the corridor.
Woodbury schools
South Washington County Schools (ISD 833) serves most of Woodbury; northern sections fall into Stillwater Area Schools. The district split matters for families targeting a specific high school, so verify the boundary for the exact address.
