Review Eagan
Talk to any Minnesotan and they will tell you how great the state is. Those who have the privilege of growing up in Eagan, Minnesota, will do that same. I attended public school starting in first grade at Pinewood Elementary, went to Dakota Hills for middle school and Eagan High School for high school. The friends I met, the teachers I had and the groups I participated in are all unforgettable. My summertime activities included going to Summer in the Park through the Parks and Rec program, having a summer pass to Cascade Bay, visiting the library, and playing soccer and basketball through the EAA program. As I grew older, I was on the EHS cross country and track team. Now as a 24 year old, I teach yoga at the Eagan Community Center. Eagan is a safe and healthy city with an activity or program for everyone. As you drive down, you will always see someone walking their dog or going on a run. There will always be room for Eagan, Minnesota in my heart.
Eagan is great! Everything you need is at your fingertips. Regardless of where you are in town, you're within 10 minutes of shopping, food, or anything else you might want! Easy access to main highways makes transit times quick and easy.
