All new development inside the City of Bemidji on the east shore of Lake Irving. Started in 1992, the project now consists of well over one hundred homes, condos, townhomes and businesses.

Totally new installation of streets, utilities, even special street lights highlight this “green emphasis”development. Now approaching build-out completion with few vacant properties yet available.

Situated on the south side of Bemidji just off the highway #197 main artery through town. The growing residential area is hidden just off the beaten path so it’s relatively quiet and private, but is still convenient to city shopping, university, etc. South Bemidji is expected to become a major growth area of the town with large church expansions, a new event/convention center, Lake Bemidji south shore re-development, and multi-store outlet mall all under discussion.

A large supermarket, branch bank, and veterinary clinic have located along highway #197 on the east side of the development, very handy to residents here.

LAKES IRVING/BEMIDJI:

The main attraction to this waterfront neighborhood. All homes are either directly ON THE LAKE, or else enjoy LAKE ACCESS. Each off-lake access property has a membership share in Irvingboro Recreation Association, a non-profit corporation owning/managing three PRIVATE parks (two directly on the lake with over 1,500’ of lakeshore).

*Martin’s Landing (^pictured above): North end marina with boating center and new picnic shelter house. Commercial docks with approximately 35 spaces, usually about 3/4 occupied.

*Assembly Park (photo to right>): Central swimming and recreation beach area

Irvingboro Recreation Association membership is a one-time cost of $2-3,000, which passes to subsequent owners at no charge. An annual assessment covering park maintenance has been $200/yr. Dock space is slightly extra.

Picnic, swim, canoe, kayak, bird watch, dock fish, even have a bonfire at these parks.

Lake Irving (the first lake on the Mississippi) is about 660 acres and connects to much larger Lake Bemidji (6,400 acres). It’s easy to boat between them and its possible to travel upstream from Irving, or all the way to the power dam known as “Stump Lake” about eight miles downstream. This large reservoir contains over 10,000 acres of navigable water and provides a wide variety of recreation including fishing (especially Walleye and Muskie), pontooning, waterskiing, jet skis, etc.

Irvingboro residents will soon benefit from an expanded asphalt walk/bike trail along its east border that will be extended all the way from Lake Bemidji State Park to Walker and beyond. Part of an extensive trail system being linked in the area, a wonderful recreational resource at the Irvingboro doorstep.
