Cambridge's Heritage Green development project is "a model for other fast-growing communities faced with managing sprawl and growth," says Warren Hanson, president of the Greater Minnesota Housing Fund.

A House Hunter's Dream
Relatively low housing and land prices continue to fuel Cambridge's expansion. This is especially true among families and first-time home buyers. Options include:
- Historic homes in established neighborhoods
- Executive homes in newer developments
- Waterfront homes overlooking the scenic Rum River or one of four lakes
- Starter homes in kid-friendly neighborhoods linked by parks and trails
- Easy-care townhomes on quiet residential streets
- Architecturally striking senior housing complexes offering independent, assisted and full-care options.
Planned Community Development
A major redevelopment of the 88-acre Regional Treatment Center campus into a Heritage Green master planned community was launched in 2005. The project, funded in part by a $350,000 grant from the Blandin Foundation, created more than 250 new affordable housing units in the center of town. The redevelopment project was called "a model for other fast-growing rural communities faced with managing sprawl and growth" by Warren Hanson, president of the Greater Minnesota Housing Fund.
