Farmington Homes MLS Listings Farmington, once a sleepy agricultural village has grown in the past two decades to become a commuter suburb, close to Lakeville. The old part of Farmington, with lots of history, is located to the southeast, while recent developments have been created in the northwest section of the city. Plenty of open land should encourage further development. The Vermillion River runs through the older portion of the community. About 10 miles on County Road 50 takes commuters to I-35W, where they join Lakeville commuters on their way to the Minneapolis St. Paul metro area. While the commute is relatively long, the advantages of living far from the urban pace continue to attract new residents.
The city of Farmington has adapted to this new growth by instituting well designed zoning and planning rules to keep growth under control and within the capabilities of the city. Plenty of parks, trails, and open spaces are a feature of Farmington, as is its historic old downtown. Trout fishing in the Vermillion River and hunting in the open spaces are popular pastimes. Farmington’s schools range from average to very good, with the city’s high school ranked in the average zone. The city is proud of its heritage and the old downtown district is well preserved and is a destination for visitors.
Homes and real estate listings in Farmington vary over a wide range of types and prices. Under $150,000, you’ll find vacant building lots, a few townhouses and condominiums, older homes in the original part of the city, and some more modern homes, including some foreclosures that may represent excellent values. A wide range of single-family homes, built between the 1960s and today are available in the $150-250,000 price range, becoming more spacious and more recent as the price increases. Price reductions have brought additional homes into this rage as well. From $250,000 to $400,000, you’ll find homes in the carefully laid out developments in the newer, northern section of Farmington, with appointments and size proportional to the price. New homes ready to be built are common in Farmington, as well. Above $400,000, only a few homes on acreage and hobby farms complete the listings.
