Commuter Suburb Ski Outdoors Shopping

15 miles south of Minneapolis sits Burnsville, a quiet suburban community with the feel of a small town and the amenities of a large city. It’s a great hometown for commuters – Interstates 35E and 35W run through town, giving folks renting in Burnsville a direct route to each of the Twin Cities and beyond.

Nowhere in the city is far from outdoor activities—Burnsville contains over 1,800 acres of parkland and outdoor recreation area, including Buck Hill ski area, Crystal Lake, and large swaths of Murphy-Hanrehan Park and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

Thanks to an initiative known as “Heart of the City,” Burnsville’s downtown area is a thriving business district full of unique shopping, dining, and entertainment amidst an attractive layout of sidewalks, trees, and public artwork.
