Relocating to Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota

Inver Grove Heights sits on the west bank of the Mississippi River, and many people moving to Minnesota find it on a map of the south metro. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.

What should I know before relocating to Inver Grove Heights? It is a Dakota County city of about 28 square miles. The city keeps 31 parks and its own golf course, and it describes downtown St. Paul as a ten-minute drive. Housing here runs from apartments to large-lot homes.

A city this size can feel very different from one end to the other. On a video tour, we show you what the listing photos leave out, such as the slope of the yard, the walk to the nearest park, and the traffic on the street at rush hour.

If you like the river, we can show you how close a home is to the Mississippi River Greenway. That Dakota County trail runs 28 miles along the river from St. Paul to Hastings. Its trailhead sits at the Rock Island Swing Bridge, which has a nightly light show in the summer months.

We also send you the facts that matter after you arrive. Dakota County's free Property Information Search shows the tax on any home, and new owners file for homestead with the county. The city provides water and sewer. Inver Glen Library on Blaine Avenue is the local Dakota County Library branch.
