Moving to Buffalo MN

Buffalo isn’t just another town west of the Twin Cities; it’s a true community, shaped by parks, people, and a pace of life that’s hard to find elsewhere. I would know, I spent nearly 15 years teaching art in the Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose school district before becoming a full-time Realtor.

If you're looking for a place where education, family, and connection matter, you’ll feel right at home in Buffalo.

Why People Are Moving to Buffalo

This isn’t just a commuter town; Buffalo is where people come to stay, to raise families, and to be part of something real.

Here’s what draws people in:

• Award-winning schools — with strong academic programs and real community support
• Access to lakes and parks — Lake Pulaski, Buffalo Lake, Sturges Park, and more
• A walkable, historic downtown with shops, restaurants, and community events
• Affordable home options in a market that still feels accessible to buyers

Whether you're dreaming of a home near the water, a larger lot, or just want to escape the urban rush, Buffalo offers space, quality, and community.

Buffalo Neighborhoods Worth Exploring

Some of the most popular areas in town include:

• Settlers Pointe – Newer construction 
• Greenbriar Hills – Spacious homes with mature trees and family-friendly streets
• Lakeview Heights – For those who want to live steps from the water

You can also find charming historic homes near downtown or acreage properties just outside city limits. Let me know what kind of setting you're looking for, and I’ll help you pinpoint the right neighborhood.

From Local Teacher to Local Realtor

Before I was showing homes, I was showing up every day for students in Buffalo classrooms. That time gave me more than just a deep knowledge of the community — it gave me real relationships and a clear sense of what makes this place special.

Today, I bring that same level of dedication and guidance to buyers and sellers, especially families looking to make smart, confident moves into (or out of) Buffalo.
