Lakeville needs more activities and things for kids to do to stay busy with each other. There is a lot of money with nothing to do in Lakeville. More community pools, skate parks, basket ball courts, arcades, etc that can be affordable to kids who may not have access to their parents money.
I like that is a very safe city. In addition, it is very pretty. There are nice houses, lakes, and nature that provides a welcoming environment.
No place is perfect so I give Lakeville a 4. I wish we would have moved here when we first got to Minnesota. The people are pleasant and the schools are much better than PL. I think the city is growing too big though.
It's a really nice area with a lot of outdoor activities, but there is very little other entertainment.
I've had a good experience with the schools and the band programs especially. The places I've lived have been friendly.
I like the simplicity of it and where everything is, however I don’t like the school board here and I wish there was more things to do
The school district is highly rated, good sports programs and services for gifted as well as special needs children. The people are generally nice, however, sports are VERY competitive and internally political it's a who's who popularity contest.
The town is politically mixed hard to say if it leans one way or another. Great conveniences and local eateries we've enjoyed living here overall its a decent suburb for most. We just specifically have other opinions about what we are looking for as a lifestyle and upbringing for our family such as religion, character and values.

Good suburb for family living, but not overly affordable. Good for families as there are a lot of family resources nearby, and safety and school systems are top notch.
Very safe city to live. Lots of housing here were built recently and many more continue to pop up. Very white city with very little diversity, but that is not to say there aren't and POC at all!
Lakeville, MN is a very small yet growing town. It is always very clean and neat with super nice people everywhere you go.
I enjoy residing in Lakeville. It is clean and taken well care of. There are plenty of parks to visit and activities to do during all the seasons. Not to mention, Lake Marion in Antlers Park is a great place to visit, especially in the evening when the sun is setting. It's a beautiful view. Another place I enjoy visiting in the fall is Applewood Orchard. You can pick your own apples and they sell delicious apple cider donuts. Lakeville overall feels pretty safe and is super family-friendly. Although Lakeville is a good city I would like to see one specific change. The city of Lakeville should add more sidewalks for the people, especially where some of the slightly older houses are at.
I've lived in Lakeville for about 11 years with my family. My husband grew up here. We love the area. It's perfect distance from the cities; access to the Mall of America, many movie theaters, restaurants and other entertainment options. Lakeville itself has a wonderful variety of parks and playgrounds. There are multiple hiking and camping locations within a couple hours from here, too.
The Lakeville school district's educational program is fantastic. Offering a great gifted and talented option for students, quality sports and Community Ed programs . I have issues with how slowly the school and city are updating their stance on racism/social justice. There are disparities in the district - pushing equity is very needed. It's the most disappointing part of living here.
Other than that Lakeville is a beautiful, growing city with a small town feel.

The public school system has been fantastic for my family. I have a disabled special needs son and they have been so helpful in his education.
Great safe community to raise kids with good schools. Has small town feel even though Lakeville is growing rapidly. There is a lack of things to do for entertainment.
The mayor is one of the best I've experienced in my lifetime, and Lakeville is such a friendly town overall. Since recently moving here, I've felt an incredible sense of community unlike anything from my hometown. Not only are the people of Lakeville hospitable, but the police are always willing to lend a helping hand as well.
Lakeville is a great idea for young families! The K-12 schools are amazing and each student thrives in both if the high schools. The unique non-chain eateries and coffee shops are refreshing if you need a break from big chains, but if you like brand name places to eat, there are plenty to pick from!
I like that my neighborhood has diversity and easy access to multiple parks nearby. The traffic is not congested but I live close enough to the cities, restaurants and shopping. The school district is rated well and I like my daughter's daycare center. I wish the city had less conservative signs posted in yards.
