North of Elk River... way north
Nods. We almost bought in Elk River two years back.
But Good Lord, they wanted to call homes "custom" for having six-inch baseboards painted white, and oversized stair railings, and charge $350,000 for what was otherwise, very ordinary housing, not even McMansion, more like Whopper Jr.
We went somewhere else instead: not as far out as you though.
As far as I'm concerned, we got a steal with a diamond in the rough, while downsizing. :-)
