I have lived here my entire life - 5/26/2013
I have lived here 22 years. It is safe and has nice parks. But it is boring...so boring. It is not a pretty place. It is flat and filled with a lot of "midwestern minded" people. It is close to everything and has a lot of what most people "need" but I have just been here too long and find it very boring and ugly.

Beautiful Eagan, MN - 3/26/2010
My husband and I are retired and live in Eagan, MN. It is a beautiful suburb of St. Paul. We have easy access to all things - restaurants, shopping, medical care, and much, much more - all within a mile of our home. I would like to live in a warmer climate, but if you love winter, Eagan is the place to

Eagan and Quality of Life - 12/9/2007
Eagan is a great place to raise kids. There are plenty of parks, activities, and above all is safe. Housing tends to be somewhere in the 75th percentile for pricing in the Twin Cities, which is leaving me to look at places like Coon Rapids and Blaine for our young family's first home. Eagan is in a fantastic location. Mpls and St. Paul can be reached in 15-20 mins when not during rush hours. If you are a shopper, you have access to 4 or 5 Kohl's, 3 Walmarts, 3 or 4 Targets, etc. all within a 10-minute drive. Let's not forget about the Mall of America, which after a while becomes merely the place where you take your relatives when they fly in from out of state. I would also consider Apple Valley, Lakeville, Wayzata, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Plymouth, or possibly Maple Grove. All of which tend to be a bit spendier. Apple Valley and Maple Grove, less so. The hospital in Burnsville has been excellent in my opinion for the two times I have been
