As an extremely small city, Willernie occupies 82 acres of land and is bordered entirely by another city, Mahtomedi. Its population in 2017 was a recorded 378 people whose average age was 40-plus years.
The median household income among the Willernie population, that year, was below $49000, which is lower than the national average of approximately $60000, although the poverty rate in Willernie was a mere four percent – well below the rate in the U.S.
Much of Willernie's magic lies in its proximity to White Bear Lake, which is a comparatively large lake in Minnesota with a longstanding reputation as a beautiful destination. The area was a major getaway for many people, as well as many prominent people, throughout the 19th and 20th century.
The lake, in combination with the railroad, drew many travelers. From 1889 to 1932, the city was grounds for Wildwood Amusement Park – hence the unique size and platting of Willernie. Once called the “Coney Island of St. Paul,” the park drew large crowds with attractions such as diving ponies, orchestral concerts and a penny arcade.
Naturally, the selection of homes for sale in Willernie is limited, although high quality homes can be found in the city. Smaller, older homes can be found near County Road 12 cost less than many homes in the Twin Cities metro, and modern homes are continually being constructed.
The median property value in Willernie was $165000 as of 2017.
Willernie's schools are rated as better than average. A total of four schools serve the city: a high school, a middle school and two elementary schools.
Additionally, academies and art centers can be found near the edge of the city.
One could make an afternoon out of walking the perimeter of Willernie, but the city isn't too small to provide plenty of fun. A park with a baseball diamond can be found there, found across the street from a tavern.
Nearby, there are dining options as well as shops found in quaint spots connected by sidewalks lined with the unique architecture of homes and other buildings.
