Chris and I are getting ready to make our big decision about building a home. We've spent the past four months doing research and are very close. We're looking at the Lakes development in Blaine. When we started this process in June I had no idea we'd end up where we are today.
You may ask how we ended up in the northern metro from the SE metro? After looking at 40+ homes in the parade of homes our thinking became more clear. We wanted to live in a neighborhood that was young with lots of young families but that was still close to the cities. Blaine seems to be the perfect fit to commute into both Minneapolis and St. Paul like Chris and I are both currently doing.
I will admit that I don't know that much about the northern metro but do know that living in Blaine will shave off at least an hour plus on Sunday nights in July on the way back from Leech Lake (where Chris parents live). We were not at the lake frequently this summer but know that will change next summer and the years ahead.
Once we have finalized a lot to build on we'll post pictures often of the progress. In the meantime enjoy reading about our journey to our new home.
