Pine Island invested heavily in its Elk Run Development, which includes the Biobusiness Park and a 2,325-acre planned community designed to foster a high quality of life. This Pine Island neighborhood includes retail, dining, medical offices, hotels and more. And the Biobusiness Park provides environmentally conscious space for bio-tech companies and other growing businesses that want close proximity to Mayo Clinic or IBM.

Already home to 3,500 residents, Pine Island attracts outdoor enthusiasts throughout all seasons. In addition to the Main Street Park and Collins Park, you’ll enjoy the Douglas Trail Park near the historic Creamery and Butter Factory. The park provides access to Douglas Trail, which follows the abandoned Chicago Northwestern Railroad grade. Explore 13 miles of rural scenery by foot, bike, snowmobile, horseback, or on cross-country skis. Athletic commuters can take the trail right into Northwest Rochester.

Many people who buy Pine Island homes for sale or Oronoco homes for sale do so out of appreciation for the Pine Island Public Schools, which includes a high school and a K-8 school. The Pine Island School District serves the communities of Oronoco and Pine Island as well as portions of southern Goodhue, northern Olmsted, and eastern Dodge counties. Oronoco residents may also choose to attend schools in the Rochester School District.
