The high <br />percentage of seasonal/vacant units mav be a reflects reflection of the lake-cottage <br />heritage. While many old cottages have been converted to rental or year-round <br />dwellings in the past, there remain a significant number of cottages on the islands <br />which will likely not be converted in the future. <br />Age of Existing Housing Stock <br />Table indicates the ranee in ages of Orono's existing housing stock bv defining the <br />decade of construction. Approximately 30% of the housing stock is more than 50 <br />years old, which raises concern about its continued functionality if attention is not <br />paid to significant upkeep activities. The percentage of housing units constructed <br />prior to 1950 is significantly higher in Qrono than that for the Lake Minnetonka area <br />as a whole. These units generally occur in the rural area or in clusters that developed <br />historically around Lake Minnetonka, such as the Crystal Bay.
