Osseo Homes for Sale

One of the oldest settlements in the metro area, Osseo was incorporated in 1875 but began its existence as Bottineau Prairie, named after one of the first Europeans who discovered the site in 1852. The town’s area covers approximately one square mile. As an inner city suburb, some consider Osseo a town that offers a lot of home for the money. It’s one of the first cities in the state to have a completely functional wireless network entirely within its boundaries. The network is a partnership between the City of Osseo (who owns the network), Unplugged Cities (network operator) and GO Networks (builder of the network). Speeds up to 3Mbps for both upload and download are available. The city’s population of 2,473 has remained constant over the past decade.
