Osseo

OSSEO

The rich history of a farm village incorporated in 1875, Osseo is a charming city conveniently situated in the heart of expanding communities in a thriving Twin Cities metro area. We strive to make improvements in local infrastructure to enhance the quality of life for everyone. The goals set out in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update are to accommodate people of all ages, focus on the safety and wellbeing of the community, connect people to services, be business friendly, attract visitors and new residents, and support housing diversity that meets the needs of the community.

4 REASONS TO LIVE WORK AND PLAY

ACCESIBILITY

In an area of less than one square mile, Osseo is easy for residents and visitors to walk or ride bikes to dine out, go to the theatre and shops, and or to run errands at the post office or salons. It is connected to major roadways for easy travel by car to and from the greater metro, and local roads lead to shopping and services in Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, and Champlin. We are also connected to an amazing system of bike trails for cyclists to get all around the Twin Cities.
