Shakopee MLS Listings Minnesota Located just south of Eden Prairie and just west of Savage, Shakopee is on the banks of the Minnesota River, which sets the tone for this outer suburb. Growth began here in the 1960s, but took off in earnest when Hwy 169 was realigned to better serve the city in the 1990s. While the commute is fairly long into the Twin Cities metro area, most residents make that commute to take advantage of the relaxed lifestyle of Shakopee. From Valley Fair amusement park and Canterbury Park horse racing venue to an annual Renaissance Festival that attracts people from all over the metro area, there’s always something happening in Shakopee. The famous Mystic Lake Indian Casino is also nearby, offering gaming and top-flight entertainment. The natural environment is important in Shakopee, with the Minnesota River providing recreation and more.
Rapid growth means that Shakopee is a modern city, but one with a long history. A downtown district, plus typical suburban shopping and entertainment areas, makes everything available. The city’s parks and recreation department administers an extensive range of parks, athletic facilities and more, all recently built and up-to-date. Golfing is popular and three courses are in the city or nearby. Fishing and lake activities are also popular pastimes. Shakopee schools are excellent, as you’d expect in a relatively affluent suburban community. Shakopee’s excellent police and fire departments help make the city a safe and quiet community, with few of the problems of more urban areas. The commute into the Twin Cities metro area is a bit long, but living in Shakopee more than makes up for it for the many families who have chosen Shakopee as their home.
