About Wyoming
Wyoming is one of the most established cities in Chisago County, with a well-developed residential base, strong schools, and the suburban amenities that growing families look for. Its location along Interstate 35 makes it one of the most commuter-friendly communities in the county, and its proximity to Forest Lake gives residents access to that city's commercial corridor without Washington County property taxes.
Cheryl's Take
"Wyoming is a perennial favorite with families. The schools are excellent, the neighborhoods are established and well-maintained, and the freeway access is as good as it gets in Chisago County. Buyers who are coming from the suburbs and want to maintain their lifestyle while gaining space and value almost always end up looking seriously at Wyoming. It delivers on what it promises."
