Lakeville’s rich history revolves around Lake Marion, Antlers Park, the railroad and its connections to the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. Lakeville has been one of the fastest growing communities in the state for many years, representing growth of nearly 30% since 2000 and has topped the most residential building permits in the metro area year over year. It is 38 square miles in size and has a population of 72,135.

The City of Lakeville has established a reputation as a place with a high quality of life, easy access to jobs and excellent schools. Lakeville has an active and growing business community, with over 1,428 businesses and benefits from a strategic location along with interstate, rail and air access, both through Airlake Airport and MSP International Airport, only 15 miles from the city.

Working for Lakeville includes a great benefits package which includes Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) with City and employee contributions, medical, dental and life insurance, long-term disability, paid time off, 11 holidays, flexible spend account and tax deferred compensation.

An arts center and a wide variety of recreational opportunities add to the quality of life enjoyed by residents. There are more than 125 miles of pedestrian and bike trails and year-round access to 1,700 acres of public open space and 68 public facilities.

Median household income is over $112K and home value of $429K. The average age is 36, although it supports a community for all ages and stages of life through its housing, programs, groups and support systems.

Lakeville City Council Members are elected at-large to represent the entire community and are empowered by law to legislate citywide policy. Residents are served by several departments: Administration, Economic Development, Engineering, Finance, Fire, Liquor Operations, Parks and Recreation, Police and Public Works, including engineering, inspections and utilities.
