Why Arden Hills Sellers Call Us
Arden Hills is a small, green, low-density city, and a large part of its land was never housing at all. The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant occupied a substantial piece of it from 1941 until 2005, which is why the city has the shape and the open space it does.
The housing that did get built came largely in the post-war decades and has stayed in families a long time. The calls we get here are overwhelmingly estates, houses being sold by children who grew up in them, plus the usual older properties needing more work than an owner wants to take on and the occasional long-held rental.
The Old Ammunition Plant, and What It Means Now
Worth being straight about, because buyers ask. The plant site was placed on the federal Superfund list in 1983 as part of the New Brighton / Arden Hills / TCAAP site, the largest in Minnesota. The Army’s waste disposal contaminated soil and groundwater, and treatment systems have been running for decades.
The EPA removed the soil portion of the site from the Superfund list in 2019 after the cleanup there was completed, and the land has been moving into redevelopment. Groundwater monitoring and treatment continue.
It has never stopped us buying here. If it has complicated a sale for you, or a lender has made it difficult, that is exactly the sort of thing a cash sale removes.
What Is Usually Wrong With the Houses
- Long-held family homes where nothing has been replaced since it was first installed.
- Larger lots with outbuildings, sheds, and years of accumulated storage.
- Aging mechanicals and roofs reaching the end together.
- A full house. Take what you want and leave the rest to us.
Taxes, Foreclosure and Probate
Ramsey County, with real timelines on our Ramsey County page. You retain more time than people expect, including the redemption period after a sheriff’s sale, when selling is still open to you. What is owed is cleared at closing.
Vacant Houses and Utilities
City water and sewer where the property is on it, Xcel electric, CenterPoint gas. Some outlying parcels are on private well and septic, which is not a problem for us either. A vacant house with the utilities off is normal.
