If you’re buying a home in the south metro, few areas check as many boxes as the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District – ISD 196. Here’s why families keep choosing it – and why homes here tend to hold their value.
1. Top-tier schools
District 196 earns an A grade and ranks #15 out of 362 districts in Minnesota. With an average ACT of 27, an 89% graduation rate, and five strong high schools including the nationally recognized School of Environmental Studies, it’s a district families relocate specifically to be part of.
2. Three cities, three lifestyles
Eagan, Apple Valley and Rosemount each offer something different – Eagan’s parks and commutes, Apple Valley’s value and the Minnesota Zoo, and Rosemount’s newer homes and space. You can find the right fit without leaving the district.
3. Strong, steady home values
Homes across the district have seen steady appreciation, and well-priced homes sell quickly – in Eagan, in under a month on average. Good schools plus limited inventory is a recipe for durable value.
4. Location, location, location
You get suburban space with quick access to Minneapolis, St. Paul and MSP airport – the best of both worlds.
