City - Cottage Grove

Located along the Mississippi River and ringed with parks, Cottage Grove is a picturesque city defined by green lawns, tree-lined sidewalks, and quiet streets. It is located about 10 miles southeast of Downtown Saint Paul, with Highway 10 providing fast access to the larger city -- a commute of less than 15 minutes. An additional five minutes will bring you to Downtown Minneapolis, making Cottage Grove apartments ideal for commutes throughout the Twin Cities area.

In addition to the typical playgrounds, splash parks, and golf courses, Cottage Grove is home to a unique park -- the Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific and Natural Area. Beautiful year-round, this park provides amazing views of the river. It features two terraces -- one about 40-60 feet above the river, the other about 110 feet above the river. The park is ideal for bird and wildlife watching, photography, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and hiking.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
