Eden Prairie

About the Community of Eden Prairie

Eden Prairie has established itself as a booming Twin Cities suburb and a thriving commercial/industrial/residential community. Still, the city has maintained its rich tapestry of parks, lakes, creeks and wooded areas. Primarily a high-tech business community, Eden Prairie is home to a diverse group of 2,000 businesses, including Rosemount, MTS Systems, Eaton Corp., the Minnesota Vikings, SuperValu, GE Capital and American Family Insurance. The Eden Prairie schools are known for their educational excellence. Also, seeking to address the needs of the community, Hennepin Technical College works closely with the city schools and businesses.
