On the eastern side of I-35 and the I-35 split, it’s about the same distance from the Minneapolis St. Paul metro area as neighboring Burnsville. Incorporated in 1969, its growth has been dramatic since then, altering the city from a rural community into a thriving modern suburb quickly. Notable as the home of the Minnesota Zoo, it has a strong family orientation. Commuters use the I-35 split to commute to the entire metro area, along with Hwy 77, another major thoroughfare that connects to I-35E. A large majority of Apple Valley Residents commutes to work.

Apple Valley’s public school system has very high ratings throughout, and provides a quality educational experience for the city’s younger residents. The Minnesota Zoo, with its world-class exhibits and even an I-Max theater, attracts residents and visitors.
