15234 Upper 61st St N Unit #2

With accolades that include America's Prettiest Painted Places, America's Most Picturesque Small Town, and one of the Best American Towns for Fall Colors, Stillwater is a stunning location -- so much so, that it is often the destination for romantic getaways and wedding photos. But there's more to Stillwater than it's charming, historic downtown with striped awnings and wide sidewalks, fantastic views of the St. Croix River, and hilly vistas that are so picture-worthy you may run out of wall space in your apartment.

Stillwater is part of the Twin Cities area, sitting on the northeast side of St. Paul across the river from Wisconsin. Commuters can reach St. Paul via Highway 36 in less than 20 minutes, and public transit is also available. Minneapolis is just 24 miles southwest of Stillwater. Once mainly a resort area, more and more new residents are discovering that Stillwater is simply too pretty to only visit on weekends.
