Meet the Best of Woodbury 2021

Though I may be biased, I like to say that Woodbury is truly one of the best communities in the metro area. From excellent schools—three of which rank in the top 10 high schools in the state—and good governance, to its convenient location near the Twin Cities as well as the state border, plus its excellent shops, local business owners and eateries, Woodbury has a lot going for it.

Though you will find repeat favorites, you will also notice some newcomers. So here they are—your top picks that make Woodbury home.
