Pulte Homes Proposes 135 Home Ravenwood Community in Blaine
Where the Development Is Planned
Pulte Homes has submitted plans to build a new residential community called Ravenwood in Blaine, Minnesota. The site spans about 83 acres near the Blaine Wetland Sanctuary and includes land currently owned by two families. Its proximity to protected natural space is one of the biggest reasons the proposal has drawn attention.
What the Ravenwood Neighborhood Includes
The proposal calls for 79 single family homes and 56 twin homes. Single family lots would be roughly 70 feet wide, while twin home lots would be narrower and designed for buyers looking to downsize without leaving the area. Pulte revised earlier versions of the plan to reduce townhome density and focus on larger lots and higher end design features.
Timeline and Approval Process
Pulte is seeking several approvals from the city, including rezoning, a comprehensive plan amendment, and plat approval. City staff are recommending approval, and the Blaine Planning Commission is expected to review the project this week. If approved, site work could start in spring 2026, model homes could open in early 2027, and construction would continue through early 2029.
Why This Matters for Blaine
This project sits near other residential developments and a planned retail commercial site, signaling continued growth in this part of Blaine. The challenge will be balancing new housing demand with environmental stewardship near the wetland sanctuary. For buyers, this could offer a rare mix of newer homes, natural views, and future amenities.
If you want to understand how new developments like this impact home values, inventory, and neighborhood feel in Blaine or the north metro, I’m always happy to talk through it.
