Savage is a Twin Cities suburb that blends new construction with a strong connection to its past. Families seek the area out for its many parks and highly rated schools, while commuters move here for its proximity to the Twin Cities. Major highways make it easy to stay connected to local amenities, such as downtown restaurants and the broader metro area.
Even though Savage is an older community, much of the available housing stock is newer. You’ll find plenty of New Traditional and modern Craftsman styles lining wide streets and cul-de-sacs, as well as the occasional mid-20th-century ranch-style house. “You have a bunch of new construction because they have the land to expand,” says Realtor Jeff Young with Edina Realty, who grew up in the area. Single-family homes generally range from the low $300,000s to the mid-$900,000s, while townhouses cost between the mid-$100,000s and the mid-$600,000s. The median single-family home price is in the mid-$400,000s, which is less expensive than in Prior Lake and the surrounding communities.
Most of the region is split into two districts: Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools, which earns an A from Niche, and the B-rated Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District. Students at the A-minus-rated Prior Lake High School can enroll in Advanced Placement courses and take the exam to earn college credit. A small part of Savage’s western end falls within the Shakopee Public School District, which earns an A. Open enrollment offers families some flexibility on where they send their kids.
With dozens of parks and trails, Savage has plenty of opportunities to get outside. You can:
Savage hosts several events throughout the year, but none are as popular with locals as Dan Patch Days, a community celebration held every June. “They decided to name the festival after this racehorse, Dan Patch,” says former mayor and longtime resident Janet Williams. “And the city itself is named after his owner, Marion Savage.” Dan Patch and Savage made history at the 1906 Minnesota State Fair when they set a world record for the fastest mile, at one minute and 55 seconds. The festivities include live music, a parade and a fireworks show. Other events throughout the year include the Saint Paul Farmers’ Market, which is every Sunday morning from June through October, and the Treats’ n Tunes concert series that happens once a month from May through September.
Restaurants and businesses fill the historic downtown along Highway 13, but locals are more likely to use the family-owned Windmill Cafe as a landmark. “You could say, ‘It’s at the intersection of Highway 13 and Quentin,’” says Will Williams, a lifelong resident and board member of the Dan Patch Historical Society. “Or, you can say ‘just look out for the old windmill.’” The cafe serves traditional diner fare and is one of many restaurants in the area. Other options include:
Most people drive, especially because state Highway 13 makes it easy to reach major roads like Interstate 35 West. Downtown Minneapolis is about 20 miles (30 minutes) away, while downtown Saint Paul is 25 miles (35 minutes) away. Public transportation is very limited, but the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority operates several bus routes in the city. You can also ride your bike for shorter trips, thanks to the region’s extensive trail system.
