Sunfish Lake
Located in Dakota County
Sunfish Lake offers a secluded neighborhood with waterfront scenery and proximity to Minneapolis. “People have quite a bit of privacy and great views, but they are within minutes of the city and airport,” says Sally English, a seven-year Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who has lived in the area for 16 years. You’ll find luxury in the homes offered in the area, with 1970s contemporary-style homes ranging from $800,000 to $900,000 with grassy lawns and wooded backyards. There’s also the option of living in gated subdivisions with single-family homes ranging from $1 million to $2.7 million with polished lawns and long, paved driveways.
Children in the area attend Somerset Elementary School, which has an A-minus from Niche and ranks in the top 8 for having the best school teachers in Minnesota. They can move on to Friendly Hills Middle School, which has a B-plus from Niche and hosts a ‘Battle of the Books’ reading competition for the students. Students may advance to Two Rivers High School, which has an A-minus from Niche and ranks in the top 35 for best high schools in Minnesota. The school offers extra-curricular activities like a cooking and bowling club.
Residents find outdoor adventure at Musser Park, which is an open field of green space where you can walk or jog. You can find peace and quiet at Sunfish Lake, which is open to the public to swim, kayak or fish. Friendly Hills Park is another place people go to get some vitamin D, and it offers a pickleball field, a playground and a shaded picnic table and grills for when you want to have a barbecue.
You can find everything you’ll need for a barbecue or at-home meals at Aldis, which is a 1.5-mile drive down Interstate 494. Most of your errands can be done at Market Square Park, which is a shopping center with Caribou Coffee, a nail salon, the local dentist and a chiropractor. You can grab a bite to eat at Ze’s Diner, a retro-style diner that sells breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or head to Tommy Chicago’s Pizzeria, which is right around the corner, for their lunch buffet special.
On the weekend, you can get brunch with a martini on the side at The Copperfield, which is located off Minnesota Highway 62. When a vacation is needed, you can book a flight and drive just eight miles down Highway 62 to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The area hosts many local events that you can attend, like a Halloween hayride and chili cook-off. “The neighborhood also hosts a Derby party every year in May at someone’s house, and the whole neighborhood comes over to watch,” says English. “It gives the place a nice neighborly feel.” If you’re looking for community and solitude, Sunfish Lake is a private oasis with quick access to the city.
