Country Club Estates
Single-family homes and townhouses west of Highway 22
While homes in other parts of Mankato can date back to the 19th century, most houses in Country Club Estates are from the early 2000s through the 2020s. Architecture varies, but ranch-style, cottage and bi-level homes are the most common. Only a few cars drive along the bending streets or emerge from the many cul-de-sacs as the community sees little through traffic. Lot sizes have a uniform feel, and lawns are diligently maintained — each yard reminiscent of the nearby golf course. Single-family homes with three or four bedrooms typically cost between $300,000 and $400,000, but there are a few exceptions. Homes with larger lot sizes or more than 3,000 square feet can cost between $415,000 and $700,000. Townhouses near the golf course range from $450,000 to $560,000, most of which are around 3,000 square feet.

Highly rated public schools in the Mankato district
Mankato Public Schools serve Country Club Estates. Students can start at Franklin Elementary, which receives an A and ranks as the best public elementary school in Blue Earth County on Niche. From here, they can attend two B-plus-graded schools, Prairie Winds Middle and Mankato East High. The high school includes dozens of after-school programs and athletics, and the boys' basketball and hockey teams made it to the state semifinals in 2024. For postsecondary options, Minnesota State University’s Mankato campus is about 5 miles away and is known for its aviation program.

Access to the highway, top employers and downtown Mankato
Augusta Drive connects to Riverfront Drive, about 4 miles away, for trips to downtown Mankato. Highway 169 is the main route to St. Peter, and it requires about a 15-mile drive, while Highway 22 is the best route for trips to Minneapolis, which is 80 miles northeast of Country Club Estates. Fortunately, there are several major employers throughout Mankato, so most residents have no more than a 5-mile commute to work. “Taylor Corp. is very big, and there are multiple colleges in town. We’ve got Mayo Clinic Health System and all the retail — so there is a mix of industries,” Yokiel says.Bordered by a private golf course and home to Country Club Estates Park
Mankato Golf Club borders the neighborhood’s residential streets to the west. Open since 1919, the private facility includes an 18-hole course lined by native trees, an outdoor pool and a clubhouse with a restaurant. In the heart of the community is Country Club Estates Park, a public space with a basketball court, playground and paved walking trail. Children flock to the park after school and on the weekends since they can easily walk between the grassy fields and their front doors.

Close to River Hills Mall and popular chain restaurants
River Hills Mall and other shopping centers surround Country Club Estates to the south and the east. “If you’re fixing up your house, you’re right next to a Home Depot and Menards. It’s also conveniently close to River Hills Mall,” says Bridget Yokiel of Realty Executives Associates, an agent actively working in the neighborhood and throughout the Mankato area. River Hills Mall, just across Highway 14, has national retailers like American Eagle and JCPenney, in addition to a Target with a full grocery department. There is also a Hy-Vee Grocery Store across the street from the mall. Members of the Mankato Golf Club enjoy casual and formal meals at the clubhouse, but there are several chain restaurants nearby as well. Boulder Tap House and Buffalo Wild Wings are right off Victory Drive, and Caribou Coffee is along Highway 22, close to Fleet Farm.

A few miles from Vetter Stone Amphitheater
About 3 miles away, Vetter Stone Amphitheater hosts regular concerts, including one of Mankato’s most-attended events. “There’s Ribfest, and that’s where all award-winning ribbers all over the US come with their ribs and compete. There is live music with headliners, like Flo Rida or Rodney Atkins, and local artists, like Emma Josephine,” Yokiel says. “Throughout the year there are also great concerts from Hairball, a Minneapolis-based arena rock tribute band. During North Mankato Fundays this year, you could also check out IV Play, a cover band that was started in Southern Minnesota — those are all the local bands that are fun to go see.”
