Birchwood Village is a city in Washington County, Minnesota, United States.

[3] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.34 square miles (0.88 km2), all land.

The village is on the south and east shore of White Bear Lake.

Birchwood first developed as a community of summer recreation cottages built by residents of the Saint Paul area in early 20th-century.

The newer subdivisions away from the lake have larger lots and are more homogeneous in appearance but have retained the flavor of the village by preserving the natural features of the area.

The community was at one time served by the Twin City Lines street car which passed through the village on its way from Saint Paul to White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi.

The significant difference in lot sizes between the older and newer areas of the community reflect the influence of changes in transportation modes.
