Savage, Minnesota is a Scott County suburb sitting about 15 miles south-southwest of downtown Minneapolis, right along the Minnesota River. With a population of around 32,500, it punches well above its size when it comes to parks, fitness, dining, school options, and housing variety. Median home prices run in the low-to-mid $400s, there are multiple active new-construction communities building right now, and the commute to either downtown is a realistic 25 to 30 minutes. If you want more house and more outdoor space without giving up suburban convenience, Savage deserves a serious look.

Savage, MN Housing Market Snapshot
The Savage market has been steady without being dramatic. Over the past 12 months, the median sale price has landed around $430,000 to $433,000, with single-family homes coming in near $429,000 and townhomes around $385,000. Months of supply sits at roughly 1.8, which still tilts toward sellers but is nowhere near the frenzy of 2021. Most well-priced, well-presented homes are going under contract in 40 to 60 days, with the best listings moving faster.
On the current active market, you will find roughly 75 to 95 homes listed at any given time, and about one in five of those is new construction. That gives buyers a real ability to compare a brand-new home against a 10- to 25-year-old resale in the same price band and the same city.
Sellers who price accurately are getting close to their asking price. Average sales are coming in about 1% under list, while competitively priced homes are hitting list price or slightly above. The longer trend shows prices up about 3% year-over-year, confirming a slow and steady appreciation pattern rather than any cliff.

Neighborhoods in Savage, MN
Savage has more housing variety than most people expect when they start shopping this zip code. Here is a breakdown of the areas I talk about most with clients.
The Pointe is one of Savage’s established move-up neighborhoods, a 242-home planned community with wooded lots, walkout basements, internal trails, and two parks. It tends to attract families who want that settled, neighborhood feel without a long drive to shops or schools.
Dufferin Park sits in eastern Savage near Harriett Bishop Elementary. Think classic 1990s and 2000s two-stories and modified two-stories on good lots, close to O’Connell Park. It is a natural step-up from a starter home and one of the neighborhoods I see families land in when they outgrow their first place.
Big Sky Estates is an active new-construction community built on the site of a former mining operation. Key Land Homes is currently in Phase 3 and 4 of a 195-lot single-family development, which means buyers can get into a brand-new home without driving out to Elko New Market or rural Prior Lake.
Eagleview / Eagleview 2nd features zero-entry luxury villas by Custom One Homes on 146th Terrace, backing to wetlands. At $849,000 to $949,000, with an HOA around $250 per month covering lawn, snow, trash, and irrigation, this product is built for downsizers or busy dual-income families who want quality and zero upkeep.
Linden Cove is the most distinctive community in the city. Twenty luxury one-level townhomes on Hanrehan Lake, integrated with Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve, with private elevators, a clubhouse, shoreline trail, dock, fire pit, and pickleball. Pricing runs $1.1 million to $1.38 million. If your client wants an “up-north on a lake” lifestyle with a 30-minute drive to the airport, this is a conversation worth having.
Around Savage Community Park and McColl Pond is less a formal subdivision and more a lifestyle anchor. The city’s flagship 55-acre park is here, with 12 outdoor pickleball courts, a skate park, sports fields, an amphitheater, and a fishing pier on McColl Pond. Homes in this area trade on proximity to that infrastructure.
New Construction in Savage, MN
One of the things that sets Savage apart from other South Metro communities at this price point is how much active new construction is available right now. You can compare a brand-new home side-by-side with resale inventory in the same city and often in the same price band. Here is a breakdown of what is currently being built.
Key Land Homes — Big Sky Estates
Big Sky Estates is Savage’s largest active single-family new-construction community, a 195-lot neighborhood that Key Land Homes is currently building through Phase 3 and Phase 4. Homes here are traditional two-story and rambler-style single-family homes on spacious lots, featuring quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, three-car garages, and open-concept main-level layouts. Key Land offers multiple floor plans with personalization options, which is the sweet spot for buyers who want something new but want to put their own stamp on finishes. Pricing in this community is generally in the mid-to-upper $400s depending on plan and selections. Big Sky Estates is a good conversation for buyers who want new construction without feeling like they are moving to the far-flung fringe of the metro.
Brandl Anderson Homes — Marion Village and Eagle Pointe Townhomes
Brandl Anderson, a Minnesota builder operating since 1993, is active in Savage with two townhome communities. Marion Village, near Loftus Lane and 141st Street, is a 24-unit luxury townhome development that was nearing completion as of Scott County’s most recent development report. Floor plans like the Bennett and Adler start in the low $400s, typically featuring three bedrooms, two and a half baths, 13-foot main-level ceilings, open-concept kitchen and great room, quartz countertops, private decks, and two-car garages. Eagle Pointe Townhomes is an additional Brandl Anderson community offering similar multi-level townhome product, priced from the high $420s to high $470s with fully finished lower levels. Both communities appeal to buyers who want HOA-maintained living without sacrificing space.
Custom One Homes — Eagleview 2nd Villas
Custom One Homes is building zero-entry luxury villas in the Eagleview 2nd neighborhood on 146th Terrace, backing to wetlands. These are slab-on-grade, main-level-living homes built with James Hardie siding, Andersen windows, oak flooring, custom cabinetry, and quartz throughout. Floor plans run from approximately 1,710 to 2,500 square feet with three to four bedrooms and three baths. Current pricing ranges from approximately $849,000 for the smaller three-bedroom plans to around $949,000 for the larger four-bedroom configurations. The HOA covers lawn care, snow removal, trash, and irrigation at around $250 per month. This product is purpose-built for downsizers and dual-income households who want high-end finishes and zero exterior maintenance, without moving into a traditional condo or apartment community.
Linden Cove Residences — Luxury Lakeside Townhomes
Linden Cove is a boutique 20-unit luxury lakeside community on Hanrehan Lake, developed by Big Fork Valley Log Cabins LLC and Gatehouse Properties. These are one-level townhomes ranging from roughly 3,100 to over 4,000 square feet, with private elevators, three to four bedrooms, and three to four baths. The 8.5-acre private community sits integrated within Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve and includes a shoreline trail, private dock, clubhouse, barbecue area, fire pit, and pickleball court. Pricing runs from approximately $1.1 million to $1.38 million for available units. This is a genuinely rare product in the South Metro and a strong conversation for active, affluent buyers who want lakefront and lock-and-leave living just 24 minutes from the airport.
Hampshire Ridge — ALG Enterprises
Hampshire Ridge is a smaller, eight-lot single-family plat near 154th Street and Hampshire Avenue that was nearing completion according to Scott County development records. This is traditional infill single-family product for buyers who want a new construction home on a more intimate street rather than a large phased community.
If you want to tour any of these communities or get a side-by-side comparison of what new construction delivers versus resale at the same price, reach out and we can set that up.
Schools in Savage, MN
This is one of the most important details to get right when buying in Savage, because the city is served by three separate public school districts depending on exactly where your home is located. The City of Savage notes all three as top-ranked districts, and each brings something distinct.
Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Independent School District 191 serves the largest portion of Savage. ISD 191 covers roughly 10,000 students across its campuses in Burnsville, Eagan, and Savage, offering elementary through high school programming. The district is known for its strong athletic programs, arts, and comprehensive K-12 offerings. Burnsville High School is the district’s flagship secondary campus.
Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools, ISD 719 serves the southern portions of Savage and covers approximately 8,700 students across 14 schools in Prior Lake and Savage. Redtail Ridge Elementary at 15200 Hampshire Ave sits directly in Savage. The district’s standout distinction is its E-STEM designation, making it the first district-wide Environmental Education, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math school system in Minnesota. It is also the only district in the state with an environmental education program that grows with students from early childhood all the way through high school. Students in the district attend Prior Lake High School for grades 9-12. ISD 719 consistently earns high marks and is a significant draw for families with kids.
Shakopee Public Schools, ISD 720 serves portions of western and northern Savage, as well as families across Shakopee, Prior Lake, and surrounding townships. The district supports nearly 8,000 students across 11-plus buildings and is known for its diverse student population, Project Lead the Way engineering program, and strong college-prep opportunities. All high school students in the district attend Shakopee High School.
Because Savage sits at the intersection of three district boundaries, the school assignment for any given address can vary significantly from one street to the next. I always recommend verifying your specific address directly with the appropriate district before finalizing a purchase if school assignment is a priority for your family. I am happy to help you confirm which district a home falls in during your search.
Life Time Fitness Savage
One of the amenities that comes up again and again when I talk to buyers considering Savage is Life Time Fitness at 6544 Loftus Lane W. This is an 80,000-square-foot athletic country club, and it is a genuine draw for a lot of people who make the move to this area.
The facility includes an expansive fitness floor, unlimited studio classes, basketball courts, eucalyptus steam rooms, a LifeSpa, a LifeCafe, and a full aquatics complex. The aquatics setup alone is substantial: indoor leisure pool with a water slide, indoor lap pool, indoor whirlpool, outdoor lap pool, and a lazy river. There are also dedicated kid spaces for children ages three months to 11 years, pickleball courts, and a robust group fitness class schedule.
What makes this particularly notable for Savage residents is a formal partnership between the City of Savage and Life Time. Savage residents can purchase daily-rate pool passes, giving them access to Life Time’s indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities without a full membership. This is how the city chose to handle community pool access instead of building and operating a city-owned aquatic center, and it is a genuinely good deal for residents.
Commute and Transportation
Savage works well for commuters headed in either direction.
To downtown Minneapolis, plan on roughly 20 to 30 minutes by car for the approximately 17 to 18 miles via Highway 13 and I-35W. To downtown St. Paul, the drive runs about 25 to 30 minutes for the roughly 19 to 20 miles. State Highway 13 and County Road 42 are the main arteries through town, connecting quickly to US-169, which gives you easy access to Bloomington, Eden Prairie, and Shakopee as well.
For transit riders, the Savage Park and Ride at 14121 Huntington Ave offers 195 heated parking spots with on-site daycare and MVTA service via Route 460 (express to downtown Minneapolis through Burnsville), Route 444 (connecting to Burnsville, Cedar Grove, and the Mall of America), and Route 447 (connecting to the Apple Valley Transit Station and Prior Lake). It is a legitimately useful option for households looking to avoid a second car.
Parks and Outdoor Life
This is where Savage genuinely stands out among Scott County suburbs.
Savage Community Park is the city’s 55-acre flagship, with baseball and softball fields, soccer, basketball, a skate park, an amphitheater, playgrounds, and 12 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts. McColl Pond, right at the park, is a 22-acre stocked lake with a fishing pier, accessible trails, and a LEED Gold environmental learning center that runs education programming and hosts community events.
Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve is a 3,000-acre regional park spanning Scott County just south of Savage. It has glacial ridges, challenging cross-country ski and mountain bike trails, and top-tier birding. This is not a flat suburban walking path. It is real backcountry terrain within a few miles of town.
The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and its associated state trail corridor run along the Minnesota River, offering roughly 46 to 50 miles of trails between Bloomington and Carver. Access points near Shakopee and along US-169 put this within easy reach for Savage residents.
Grocery Shopping in Savage, MN
Savage is one of the better-stocked suburbs in Scott County when it comes to grocery options. You are not driving 15 minutes to the nearest store; most of what you need is right here in town.
Hy-Vee at 6150 Egan Drive is the anchor grocery store for a lot of Savage households. It is a full-service, large-format Midwestern grocery chain with a wide product selection, a Market Grille restaurant inside, a pharmacy, and Aisles Online for pickup or delivery. Hy-Vee also operates a Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh convenience location nearby at 5900 Egan Drive for quick stops.
Fresh Thyme Market anchors the Marketplace at 42 retail corridor and caters specifically to the natural and organic grocery buyer. It is a strong option if your household prioritizes local produce, specialty items, bulk foods, or health-focused selections.
Target at 14333 Highway 13 includes a full grocery section alongside its standard department store inventory. For households that want to consolidate grocery and general merchandise shopping in a single trip, the Savage Target handles that well.
Beyond those three, the Marketplace at 42 corridor also includes a Marshalls, Walgreens, and assorted services for day-to-day needs. And for specialty items, Von Hanson’s Meats at 4301 County Road 42 is a locally operated butcher and meat market that is worth knowing about.
Dining in Savage, MN
Savage has a more interesting restaurant scene than a lot of people expect from a Scott County suburb. Here is the rundown of spots worth knowing.
Buffalo Tap on 123rd St. W is the most talked-about restaurant in town, consistently rated at the top of Savage dining lists for its burgers, wings, and outdoor seating. This is the spot with the biggest menu and the longest track record.
Whiskey Inferno at 14425 Highway 13 is the choice for a step-up night out. Think reinvented Chicago steakhouse meets Central Texas barbecue in a casual, well-designed space with a serious cocktail program. Locally and family owned, it is the kind of place that works for a date night, a business dinner, or a group that just wants good food and bourbon without the pretense of fine dining.
Crooked Pint Ale House at 14120 State Highway 13 is the neighborhood sports bar and pub. Juicy Lucys, flatbreads, tacos, a rotating selection of 28 to 32 craft taps, and an extensive bourbon and whiskey list. It hits the mark for families and groups who want good food without it being a big production.
McHugh’s Public House at 5715 Egan Drive is a community staple on the County Road 42 corridor, known as the home of Burnsville-Savage Lions Club fundraisers and a dependable neighborhood pub experience.
Casa Deli in the historic Savage Depot is one of the more distinctive spots in town, blending Mexican, American, and Mediterranean cuisines in the same kitchen. Gyros alongside tacos alongside classic comfort food, with a solid cocktail program. It is the definition of fusion done in an unpretentious way.
Neisen’s Sports Bar and Grill is the classic local sports bar with live music, televisions, bingo, and a loyal regular crowd. And rounding out the options, the Marketplace at 42 corridor includes Noodles and Company and Chipotle for fast-casual weeknight convenience.
For a quick stop after the farmers market or a weekend coffee run, the St. Paul Farmers Market sets up shop seasonally in the Savage Depot parking lot at 4800 W. 123rd St., and Caribou Coffee is nearby.
Shopping, Services, and Daily Life
For everyday needs, the County Road 42 and Highway 13 corridors handle most of it. Marketplace at 42 and the adjacent retail at Highway 13 cover a wide range of services in a concentrated area, including the Fresh Thyme, Marshalls, Walgreens, and multiple dining options already mentioned.
Healthcare is covered locally by the Allina Health Savage Clinic and Urgent Care at 6350 W 143rd St., with family medicine, pediatrics, and same-day urgent care hours on weekdays and weekends. For more serious needs, M Health Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville is about 4 miles away with a 24-hour emergency room. St. Francis Regional Medical Center in Shakopee is about 7 to 8 miles away with ER and specialty services.
Families who want full big-box or mall access can reach Burnsville Center and its surrounding retail in about 10 to 15 minutes.
Community Events
Dan Patch Days is Savage’s signature summer festival, typically held in late June. It runs four days at Community Park and draws around 8,000 to 10,000 people for a parade, kids’ programming, a business expo, live music, and fireworks. The Thursday-night craft beer and wine tasting at McColl Pond ELC is a fundraiser hosted by the Savage Rotary and serves as the festival’s kickoff. It is one of the better small-city festivals in the South Metro and a good indicator of how connected this community actually is.
The Savage Arts Council runs an annual juried art show, the Minnesota River Arts Fair, and the Scott County Art Crawl. The St. Paul Farmers Market operates seasonally in the Savage Depot parking lot.
Why Buyers Choose Savage
Savage consistently earns recognition as one of the safer, more livable suburbs in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro, with total crime running well below national averages. Median household income in the city runs above $120,000, which lines up with the schools, parks, and general upkeep you see on the ground.
For buyers I work with, the pitch is simple: mid-$400s median price, roughly 30 minutes to either downtown, real new-construction availability across multiple builders and price points, a grocery infrastructure that covers everyone from the Hy-Vee loyalist to the Fresh Thyme shopper, a Life Time Fitness that residents get discounted pool access to, and a parks system that would make a lot of larger cities envious. And if you need something more low-maintenance, there are quality townhome and villa options in the same city without having to relocate.
If you are also considering nearby communities, it is worth comparing Savage to Prior Lake for its lake access, Shakopee for its entertainment and commercial corridor, or Burnsville for its transit connections and established retail base.
