Rosemount is a growing city with top schools and a lot of green space
South of the Twin Cities, Rosemount combines a small-town atmosphere with the amenities of a growing suburban community. Buyers are attracted to the Dakota County city's expanding selection of homes and strong public schools. A park system that provides ice rinks, fishing ponds and a disc golf course widens its appeal. There are community events throughout the year, highlighted by the eight-day Leprechaun Days festival, and commuters have convenient drives to Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
Downtown Rosemount still has a small-town feel.
Rosemount is south of the Twin Cities.

What buyers can pay for ramblers, bungalows and New Traditional homes
Rosemount is one of the fastest-growing parts of the Twin Cities metro area. It has a population of around 30,000 people, which is about double its 2000 population. The city has started building several developments to meet demand. Older homes are a mix of ramblers, bungalows and two-story traditional houses, among others, and can range from the upper $200,000s to more than $1.5 million. The New Traditional homes built more recently often run from the lower $400,000s to nearly $1.5 million. Townhomes generally sell between the lower $200,000s and the lower $700,000s. Rosemount tends to be a little more expensive than nearby communities like Farmington and Inver Grove Heights, and there’s more growth coming. “Development in cities is usually 40 to 80 acres, but this is almost 500 acres that we'll be building for the next 8 to 10 years,” says Logan Martin, the Rosemount city administrator.
The Harmony Village neighborhood of Rosemount is filled with townhomes.
New Traditional homes are found throughout Rosemount.

Rosemount High School serves the region.
The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District is highly rated
Students fall under the highly rated Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District, also called District 196. Rosemount High School offers five language courses: French, Spanish, German, Mandarin Chinese and American Sign Language. Private options include the highly rated First Baptist School.
Leprechaun Days is the year's biggest celebration
Rosemount hosts community events throughout the year, but the one that matters most is Leprechaun Days, an eight-day July festival that brings a parade, a fishing derby and a carnival to town, all in celebration of the area’s Irish roots. “Prep and excitement for the event lasts all year,” says Austin Eaton, a Realtor with Real Broker. Come October, the city throws a family-friendly Halloween Haunted Trail event where businesses and organizations hand out candy to costumed trick-or-treaters. There’s also the weekly Rosemount Farmers Market, which runs from June through September.
MVTA buses make commuting to Minneapolis or Saint Paul easy.
Commuters have easy drives to Minneapolis and Saint Paul
State Highway 3 cuts north-south through the city, and county roads 42 and 46 run east-west. U.S. Highway 52 provides a direct route to Saint Paul, around 25 miles out. Downtown Minneapolis is a similar distance. Minnesota Valley Transit Authority express buses can take residents to both cities. Some residents commute to the Twin Cities for work, while others are employed by the Pine Bend Refinery and other companies in the city. As more people move to the area, more businesses follow.
The city provides ice rinks, a skate park and a disc golf course
Rosemount has 30 parks to explore, but Central Park is the main attraction. The green space has a splash pad and a playground, and it often hosts concerts and other events at its amphitheater. Schwarz Pond Park provides a fishing pier and the city's only skate park, while Brockway Park is known for its disc golf course. The area also has three ice rinks that draw lots of skaters each winter. Nearby, Lebanon Hills Regional Park is popular for its hiking and biking trails.

It's a short drive to restaurants and an outlet mall
Rosemount has a small dining scene, but there’s a wide variety of restaurants in neighboring cities like Eagan and Apple Valley. It’s a short drive to places like:
Omni Brewery & Taproom, a spot for craft beers and wines in a casual setting
Fireside Restaurant and Bar, a New American eatery with an outdoor patio
Doolittles Woodfire Grill, a popular rotisserie-style restaurant
Barley and Vine, a modern kitchen that puts a twist on old favorites
Suzie’s Kitchen, an old-school diner that serves comfort food
You can pick up groceries at Cub or Aldi. Most of the region’s clothes shopping is done in Eagan at Twin Cities Premium Outlets, which has stores like Gap and Old Navy.
