Realtors in Andover, MN
Established Anoka County housing on larger lots, in the Anoka-Hennepin district. Buying, selling and home valuation in Andover, Anoka County, from a two broker team based in Saint Michael.
Andover is the established option on the northeast side of our map, and the lots are bigger than you expect.
Andover built out mostly through the eighties, nineties and two-thousands, and it did so with larger lots than a typical inner-ring suburb, so the city has a settled feel with more space between houses. It is in Anoka-Hennepin, and its commute runs down Round Lake Boulevard and the Highway 10 corridor instead of I-94.
A meaningful part of Andover is on wells and septic despite being an established suburb, which surprises buyers who assume city services come with the address. It depends on the area, and it needs checking parcel by parcel. The other thing to know is that a lot of the housing stock is now old enough that roofs, furnaces, water heaters and siding are all reaching replacement age at once, which is a real number to budget, not a reason to walk away.

Buying, selling and valuation in Andover.
Each of these has its own Andover page, written for this town, not for the county.
What a buyer should know about Andover.
Confirm whether the parcel is on city services or a well and septic, because both exist here and the inspections differ. On a nineties house, ask the age of the roof, the furnace, the water heater and the windows, and price the ones that are due.
What a seller is up against in Andover.
Lot size is an advantage over newer subdivisions and worth stating in square feet or acres. If you have already replaced the roof, furnace or windows, put it in the listing with the years, because buyers shopping this vintage are actively pricing those and documented updates remove the discount they would otherwise apply.
Valuing a Andover property.
With most of the stock from a similar era, condition and updates drive the spread here more than location does. Two similar Andover houses can differ substantially on mechanicals alone, which is exactly what an automated estimate cannot see.

Andover questions, answered straight.
Which school district serves Andover?
Andover is served by Anoka-Hennepin (ISD 11). District boundaries out here do not always follow city limits, so we still confirm it per address before you write an offer.
How long is the commute from Andover to Minneapolis?
You are on Round Lake Boulevard and Highway 10, and it is about 35 to 50 minutes to downtown Minneapolis. Those are approximate and the only number that matters is the one you get driving it yourself at the hour you would really be leaving, in both directions.
Which county is Andover in?
Anoka County. That determines your property taxes, your recording and where a septic compliance inspection gets filed, so on the county borders we get the actual tax statement, not an estimate.
Is Andover on city water and sewer or a well and septic?
A mix of city services and wells and septic depending on the area. It is a per-parcel question, and it changes both the inspections we order and what you maintain afterward.
