Living in the Old Village and Concord Area, Inver Grove Heights
Where the Old Village and Concord area is
This area sits in the northeast corner of Inver Grove Heights, between the South St. Paul airport and the Mississippi River. The city's 2040 Comprehensive Plan calls it the Concord neighborhood and also uses the name Old Village, and it says the Old Village sewer district reaches as far south as 72nd Street. Concord Boulevard runs through it.
The history here is the oldest in the city. The city says that in 1909 the people living in the one square mile next to the railroad incorporated as the Village of Inver Grove, and the village and the township existed side by side for more than 56 years before the City of Inver Grove Heights was created in 1965.

Homes in the Old Village and Concord area
The comprehensive plan says this area contains some of the oldest housing in Inver Grove Heights. A bluff runs parallel to the river. East of Concord Boulevard, at the bottom of the bluff, the plan describes smaller lots on a grid of streets. West of Concord Boulevard, the plan says steep slopes shaped homes with a more unusual layout.
The city adopted a redevelopment plan for the Concord neighborhood in 2012, and the land use plan guides the Concord Boulevard corridor for mixed use. The plan also notes that some properties in the Old Village and Concord Boulevard neighborhoods sit in the Mississippi River floodplain, so we check the flood map for every address before you write an offer.
Parks and places nearby
Heritage Village Park at 4321 65th Street East has an 11-acre off-leash dog park, an inclusive playground, a splash pad, a covered shelter and a restroom building. The plan says the park covers the old village settlement and rail yard along the river. Swing Bridge Park at 4465 66th Street East has a pier that reaches 680 feet over the Mississippi, a trailhead for the Mississippi River Regional Trail, and nightly light shows on the Rock Island Swing Bridge. The old town hall still stands at 6701 River Road in Old Town Hall Park, and the city lists it as a historic landmark.
Getting around and schools
Concord Boulevard is the main street through the area. The comprehensive plan says the Union Pacific tracks that run parallel to Concord Boulevard near 71st and 65th Streets carry 11 trains per day, which is worth knowing when you tour a home close to the line. The city says Inver Grove Heights Schools (ISD 199), Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Schools (ISD 196) and West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan Area Schools (ISD 197) each serve part of the city, so we confirm the district for each address.
