With a name like "Apple Valley," you might be expecting to find acres of green fields, mature trees, sparkling lakes, and perhaps even a red barn or two. And, while you wouldn't be far off the mark, there's much more to Apple Valley -- it is home to the Minnesota Zoo, the Valleywood Golf Course, and a busy shopping district. Apple Valley is perfectly located, directly south of the Twin Cities and bordering I-35 E for easy commutes. From your new Apple Valley apartment, you can reach Minneapolis in roughly 25 minutes and St. Paul in 20 minutes.
Apple Valley is actually named for Apple Valley, California. The city was founded in 1969 and has grown to become one of the state's largest cities. It even made Money Magazine's "Best Places to Live" list several times, starting in 2007. This is a beautiful city, filled with lakes, parks, and hiking trails. Be sure to visit Lebanon Hills Regional Park, the largest park in Dakota County. With nearly 2,000 acres to explore, this park features hiking trails, campgrounds, swimming areas, fishing, mountain biking, canoeing, and playgrounds. Winter brings more fun, with cross-country skiing, kicksledding, sledding, ice skating, and snowshoeing.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
