In Prior Lake, roads curve around the bends of its several lakes like the tails of sleeping cats—and it’s about as
quiet. With a population of just over 20,000, the small-town atmosphere and quaint downtown Main Street, with its cute
shop and eateries, make Prior Lake one of the more charming locales to live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Surrounding the lake, you’ll find several trails and plenty of housing in the form of cabins, nautical-looking apartments,
townhomes in subdivisions and a few developments tailor-made for older residents.

But Prior Lake isn’t only quiet strolls and low-key living. If you’re looking for excitement, you can definitely find it here. Mystic Lake Casino and Little Six Casino are located on the Shakopee-Mdewakanton Indian Reservation, and you can get physical with over 800 acres of park land including 30 separate athletic fields and numerous golfing opportunities to keep your swing—and self—in the best shape.

Frankly, we’re convinced weekends were made for Prior Lake.
