Scott

Welcome To

Scott

Moving closer to the Twin Cities metro edge, Scott County is where rural, suburban and growth collide. Located just southwest of the Twin Cities, it’s been one of Minnesota’s fastest-growing counties. With that growth come areas of commerce, industry, neatly developed subdivisions, and also preserved rural pockets. It’s a compelling spot for someone wanting suburban convenience but still with access to some open space.

Local Lifestyle

Here you’ll find a dynamic lifestyle: families seeking good schools and nice homes; professionals commuting to the metro; and folks who appreciate that you’re close to the city—but not in the thick of it. The median household income is strong (over $120K in recent stats) and education levels are above state average.

Dining, Entertainment, & Shopping

Scott County (Shakopee, Prior Lake, Savage area) has a suburban mix: family restaurants, supper clubs, breweries and mainstream shopping centers. For bigger outings you’re also very close to major regional draws like Valleyfair amusement park and the Mall of America is a reasonable drive — so you get both neighborhood eateries and big entertainment options nearby.

Things You Can Do

Depending where you are in Scott County you can catch horse racing at Canterbury Park, rides/seasonal events at Valleyfair, local trails for biking and walking, and lots of community festivals. It’s a practical place if you want suburban comforts plus quick access to big-ticket entertainment.
