Lakeville

About the Community of Lakeville

Lakeville is a thriving, fast-growing community that only 28 years ago was a small rural town. Situated 20 miles south of the Twin Cities, Lakeville is employing carefully planned growth and development, while maintaining its small-town charm and amenities. The community has abundant open spaces, lakes and parks, making it especially attractive to young families. Convenient shopping can be found in downtown Lakeville, the Southfork area, Cedar Avenue and near Interstate 35 at 185th Street and Highway 70, as well as at several small strip shopping centers. The community has two medical clinics and many local dentists and chiropractors. With the cooperation of the city, businesses and residents, the community celebrates annually with its Panorama of Progress early in July. The week-long celebration features activities and events for all ages.
