Three are one-story homes and two have two stories, and every one of them has a three-car garage.
No. 1 — $699,300 · 7635 Ochoa Ave NE, Otsego, Minnesota
The top sale of the week was a newly built home in the Ashwood neighborhood of Otsego, which sold for $699,300. It is a one-story rambler built in 2026 to the Geneva II floor plan, in a new development of private homesites close to shopping, schools and parks.
The main level is open from end to end under high ceilings. The kitchen is built around an oversized center island, with quartz counters, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry, and a sunroom off the living areas takes in light through the year. The owner’s suite has a double vanity, a ceramic-tiled shower and a large walk-in closet, and a deck carries the living space outside.
Downstairs, the full daylight lower level is finished, with a family room arranged around a gas fireplace. In all, the home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 2,785 square feet on a 0.26-acre lot, along with an insulated, attached three-car garage with extra storage.

No. 2 — $669,900 · 13703 47th St NE, Saint Michael, Minnesota
Few homes at this price come with a private elevator, but the No. 2 sale does. The Saint Michael home, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the Preserve community, sold for $669,900.
Built in 1997, it is the oldest of the five, and at 4,308 square feet it is also the largest. It is a one-story home with a finished walkout lower level, five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Big windows brighten an open layout, and the kitchen has granite counters, a large center island and plenty of cabinets, opening to the living and dining areas. A gas fireplace warms the living room. Beyond the elevator, the home has a sauna, a jetted tub and a flex room that can serve as an office or a workout space.
Out back, a low-maintenance deck looks over a fully fenced yard, and the 0.38-acre lot backs to natural land with a medium cover of trees. The home also has a paver driveway, a storage shed and a whole-house generator. The property last sold for $460,000 in 2018.

No. 3 — $640,000 · 20801 145th St NW, Elk River, Minnesota
Land sets the third-ranked sale apart. The Meadowbrook home in Elk River, which sold for $640,000, sits on 2.50 fenced acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the largest lot among the five. The ground is flat and cleared, with light tree cover, and it is already approved for a future pole barn or another outbuilding.
The custom two-story home was built in 2016 and has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and 3,744 square feet. A grand foyer opens to a main floor with a dedicated office, wood floors and an open plan that joins the living room, a dining area with built-in buffet cabinetry and the kitchen.

A separately fenced area for small pets and a heated, insulated garage measuring 34 by 26 feet round out the property.

No. 5 — $595,000 · 22372 Tipton St NW, Elk River, Minnesota
In the Ridges of Rice Lake community in Elk River, a custom rambler on a heavily wooded 0.70-acre lot sold for $595,000. The home was built in 2003 and finished with care: 11-foot ceilings, quarter-sawn oak cabinets and trim, cork floors and Indian marble counters, with professional-grade appliances in the kitchen. Stacked stone and travertine tile surround the gas fireplace, and a 14-by-15-foot glass-enclosed porch looks out into the trees.
It is designed for living on one floor. There are no steps to get into the home and none to reach the new concrete patio, and the doorways are extra wide. The laundry room and the primary suite, with a walk-in closet and a bath with a separate tub and walk-in shower, are on the main floor. The finished walkout lower level adds a recreation area and two more bedrooms for guests. The home has three bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath, and 3,462 square feet.
The community shares a well and septic system and keeps private paved and unpaved walking trails, a gazebo and an ice rink with a warming house that the homeowners maintain. The association even allows a neighborhood archery hunt. The property last sold for $358,500 in 2015.
