Ramsey, a city of 22,500 inhabitants and growing, is comprised primarily of farms and single family homes on large residential lots, but includes several townhome communities that sprang up in the last ten years. Bounded by the Rum and Mississippi rivers, a good fifteen percent of Ramsey’s 28 square miles is protected wetlands. The city has three business parks, an off-leash dog park, many annual events and non-stop commuter bus service to Downtown Minneapolis.
A variety of housing options, commercial and industrial development opportunities continue to flourish south of the Trott Brook. An increasing number of people call Ramsey home. Ramsey's staff is ready and willing to work with businesses to ensure growth of living-wage jobs in the city as well as managing growth of the tax base for Ramsey.
Ramsey's natural resources are not lost through this urban development. Many were attracted to Ramsey because of its beautiful wetlands and open plains. Ramsey continues to protect these natural resources by expanding greenways and park land and miles of trails. Ramsey envisions continued
growth, fostering development without losing the character of its natural amenities. A broad range of recreational opportunities can be found at one of Ramsey's many parks including Central, Elmcrest, and River's Bend parks. Ramsey is also home to two championship golf courses; The Links at North Fork and Rum River Hills Golf Course.
The City of Ramsey is host to a variety of amazing annual community events including the Ramsey Lion's Picnic in June, Safety Camp in June, Recycling Days in Spring and Fall, Business Appreciation Day at one of the community's golf courses in August, and the Happy Days celebration in September. Happy Days includes a craft fair, car show, parade, numerous children's activities, and a street dance. For more information, visit www.ci.ramsey.mn.us and click on the "Community Events" tab.
