<br /> Anoka County 2019 <br />Multi-Jurisdictional <br />All Hazards Mitigation Plan <br /> <br /> 55 <br />25B3.4 Jurisdiction Housing <br />Anoka County experienced substantial population and <br />household growth during the 1990s as development <br />continued to push northward across the County. Areas of <br />the largest household growth during the 1990s were Coon <br />Rapids, Ramsey, Andover, Blaine, and Lino Lakes. These <br />communities had an ample supply of land within the <br />Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. <br />Beyond these communities to the north, the County is <br />largely urban- <br />rural with zoning <br />restrictions that <br />limit residential <br />development to <br />primarily large-lot <br />single-family <br />homes. <br /> <br />The current <br />MUSA boundary <br />constrains the <br />development of <br />higher housing <br />densities in most <br />of the County. <br />The greatest <br />amount of housing development is occurring in areas <br />with land serviced by municipal sewer and water. <br />Very little multifamily housing will be built in <br />communities in the northern portion of the County, <br />which is not serviced by municipal sewer and water. <br /> <br />Land outside the MUSA is being consumed at a <br />rapid pace by the development of housing at lower <br />densities. For example, with an average single-family <br />lot size of 2.5 acres (a typical lot size in the <br />township), the amount of land to develop 100 homes <br />would be about 300 acres (including land for streets), <br />compared to about 33 acres for an average single- <br />family lot size of 12,000 square feet. Thus, the more <br />rural sub markets are consuming land at a pace <br />similar to the more urban sub markets that are <br />adding a much greater amount of housing. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Median House Value <br />2010 Census <br />Andover $158,400 <br />Anoka $119,000 <br />Bethel $102,900 <br />Blaine (pt.) $125,600 <br />City of Nowthen $157,500 <br />Centerville $142,400 <br />Circle Pines $116,300 <br />Columbia Heights $103,000 <br />City of Columbus $154,600 <br />Coon Rapids $124,600 <br />East Bethel $138,300 <br />Fridley $120,300 <br />Ham Lake $150,300 <br />Hilltop $55,000 <br />Lexington $104,100 <br />Lino Lakes $162,700 <br />Linwood Township $135,200 <br />Oak Grove $151,100 <br />Ramsey $143,500 <br />St. Francis $128,500 <br />Spring Lake Park (pt.) $120,000
