Anton Village Villa

Independent Assessment

Anton Village Villa's central research consideration is not its product (single-story Lennar villa homes, materially similar to the company's other Twin Cities 55+-marketed communities) but its location: St. Michael is genuinely exurban, and buyers evaluating this community should weigh the roughly 45-minute drive to Minneapolis against whatever local healthcare, airport access, and specialty retail needs they expect to have over the coming decade. The community's product, unit count, and construction start date were verified through Lennar's own site and 55places, both consistent; no HOPA-style age restriction was found, however, consistent with 55places' age-targeted classification for this community.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Anton Village Villa suits a buyer with an existing commitment to the outer northwest metro -- family nearby, a preference for a quieter, more rural-adjacent setting, or simply a lower comparative land cost -- who wants new single-story Lennar construction and does not require a legally enforced age minimum. It is not the right fit for a buyer relocating from out of state who wants to be close to downtown Minneapolis, the airport, or major medical centers.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Lennar began construction of Anton Village Villa in 2023 under its Lifestyle Villa Collection, planning 50 single-family villa homes total. Homes are single-story with two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two- or three-car garage, ranging from approximately 1,570 to 1,968 square feet, with an available finished-basement option. The address is 9614 49th Street NE, Saint Michael, MN 55376.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Move-in-ready homes reviewed at Anton Village Villa were listed in the roughly $499,990-$524,990 range, putting it toward the upper-middle of this cluster's Lennar communities, likely reflecting larger available floor plans or optional finished basements rather than a fundamentally different price tier. Buyers should request current, complete pricing across all available plans directly from Lennar.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Anton Village Villa is an active new-construction community, begun in 2023 and not yet at its full 50-home build-out. Buyers should confirm current lot availability, whether a given home is move-in ready or to-be-built, and current pricing directly with Lennar.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Anton Village Villa is subject to St. Michael and Wright County property tax administration. Wright County's average effective property tax rate is cited by SmartAsset's Minnesota property tax data at approximately 0.95% -- on a $510,000 home, that implies roughly $4,845/year in property tax. Unit-specific tax figures and insurance requirements were not confirmed; buyers should confirm exact current figures with the Wright County Assessor.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Anton Village Villa is a single-story villa neighborhood without a clubhouse or organized activities program identified; on-site recreation is limited to a playground, baseball field, and trail access shared with the broader Anton Village development. The lifestyle draw is new-construction, low-maintenance living in a quieter, more rural-adjacent exurban setting.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Anton Village Villa is located at 9614 49th Street NE, Saint Michael, MN 55376, in Wright County, roughly 45 minutes from downtown Minneapolis with easy access to I-94. Albertville Premium Outlets are about five minutes away, and Fox Hollow and Cedar Creek Golf Clubs are nearby; Monticello and Buffalo have the closest hospitals for routine care. Buyers should confirm current drive times to any specific specialist care or the airport before purchasing.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

55places.com classifies Anton Village Villa as 'age-targeted' -- marketed to 55+ buyers, with no legally enforced age minimum for residency. No HOPA-style age-restriction language was found on Lennar's own Anton Village community or floor-plan pages, consistent with that classification. Buyers who require a legally enforced age minimum should confirm this directly with Lennar or consider a verified age-restricted community elsewhere in this cluster instead.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

The defining tradeoff at Anton Village Villa is distance: at roughly 45 minutes from Minneapolis, healthcare, airport access, and specialty retail all require more planning than at any other community in this cluster, and buyers who are active and driving comfortably now should think through how that commute will feel in 10-15 years. As with the other Lennar communities in this cluster, there is no legal age restriction here; buyers who require that assurance should look elsewhere.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Anton Village Villa is one of four Lennar-built, age-targeted communities in this cluster (alongside Lexington Waters in Blaine, Fields of Winslow Cove in Andover, and Watermark Villas in Lino Lakes), and is by a meaningful margin the most exurban -- St. Michael is in Wright County, well beyond the seven-county metro core the other three communities sit within. Versus Hidden Pathways in White Bear Lake or Forest Hills Preserve in Forest Lake -- both legally age-restricted and both closer to the metro core -- it trades proximity and legal age assurance for new construction and a quieter, lower-density exurban setting.
