A close-knit community and easy access to Mankato in Eagle Lake
Winding streets lined with maples and oaks lie throughout the small town of Eagle Lake. Just 7 miles from downtown Mankato, Eagle Lake is a quiet bedroom community with easy access to major roads and plentiful room for outdoor recreation. “We have a wonderful, neighborly community here in Eagle Lake,” says Jenna Mohr, a Realtor with RE/MAX Dynamic Agents and owner of The Home Team who has lived in the area for her whole life. “Around every corner, there’s a familiar face, and people look out for each other. A lot of people who were raised here end up staying or moving back here later in life. When someone is in need, people volunteer their time to help. Neighbors help neighbors.”
Eagle Lake features diverse housing from late 19th century farmhouses and bungalows around Parkway Avenue to modern split-levels, Colonial Revivals, and ranch homes built through the early 2000s.
Eagle Lake attracts families who were raised locally and choose to stay or return later in life, creating generational connections that strengthen the community's neighborly spirit.

A local watering hole and access to major shopping centers
While Eagle Lake is largely residential, there are a few businesses along Parkway Avenue, including banks, a dentist's office and a beauty salon. Eagle’s Nest serves as the local watering hole and offers pub fare and pizza. The eatery is known for its 2-pound Duke Burger, which serves four to six people. Casey’s is a nearby option for take-out pizza. “I often joke that Eagle Lake is closer to Mankato than Mankato itself,” Mohr says. “Because it’s a shorter drive to downtown compared to some of the suburbs on the outskirts. We’re very much our own community, but we have the convenience of being only minutes from the city.” The community is less than 5 miles from Minnesota state Highway 22 in Mankato, which is lined with shopping centers and eateries. River Hills Mall has over 70 shops and restaurants, from large department stores to quaint clothing boutiques. Sam’s Club, ALDI and Walmart are nearby options for groceries.
Eagle Lake residents can shop at variety of businesses in nearby Mankato.
