When we decided to move to Minnesota, we had NO IDEA where to plant our roots. There are hundreds of towns within a 30 mile radius of Minneapolis and we checked out MOST of them. Nearly every person we asked would tell us why their city was the BEST one in Minnesota. That made our decision extremely difficult, but we finally settled in Lakeville …and we LOVE it here!
Did you know that Lakeville was rated one of the best places to live according to Money Magazine?
I’ve explored this city and have ten reasons for YOU to come visit.
1. Lakeville is known for their excellent sports programs. Visit Lakeville NORTH High School and… Lakeville SOUTH High School to cheer on our young athletes!

2. Eat at one of the many fabulous restaurants!
- Northern Taphouse,
- Barley and Vine,
- Legends,
- Lakeville Brewing Company,
- Porterhouse Steak and Seafood .
