Dakota County is firmly part of the Twin Cities metropolitan region, blending suburban neighborhoods, urban access and still traces of rural land use. With about one-third each urban, suburban and rural land use, it’s a unique mix. The county lies along major rivers (Mississippi and Minnesota) which also shape its character.

For those who want the perks of metro-life (schools, transport, jobs) but also value parkland and riverfront serenity, Dakota provides. It tends to attract professionals, commuters and families who want good access to everything. It’s competitive, active, and well-connected.

Cities like Eagan and Apple Valley have good restaurant roundups and shopping centers; plus Dakota County’s park system makes outdoor dining and patio seasons popular.

Trails along the river, regional parks, and a strong parks & rec program give you year-round activities — hiking, winter skiing/sledding, and festivals. Eagan and Apple Valley host local concerts, and for bigger nights out Minneapolis–St. Paul is an easy commute.
