Local housing

Homes in St. Anthony.

St. Anthony housing runs to early-1900s village houses and farm homes, a thin mid-century stock and a few newer builds, across the small townsite around St. Anthony Catholic Church and the farms of Krain Township, on glacial drift plain of central Stearns County, in the country between Albany and Freeport — and that mix shapes what a buyer's inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in St. Anthony

St. Anthony does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. St. Anthony sits in Stearns County, in EPA Radon Zone 1, and MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk. Finished basements concentrate radon, and only a 48-hour test tells you the number. Footings here must reach the 3-1/2-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 set for the southern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that St. Anthony-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

When should I schedule it?
As soon as your offer is accepted, so the finished report lands inside your inspection window with room left to respond.
Who do you work for?
You, every time. We are hired by the buyer, never the seller, and the report reflects only what we observed on site.
How is this St. Anthony different from the one near Minneapolis?
It is a separate town: a Stearns County village of about 90 people, settled around 1880 and incorporated in 1911, next to Albany and Freeport and centered on its brick church with a steeple. Houses are older village or farm homes, many on private wells and septic. Foundations and basement moisture, wiring and plumbing updates, roof condition and chimney age, and rodent damage where a home has sat quiet are worth a look.
