Farmington Real Estate – Northstar Minnesota MLS Member
Farmington, once a sleepy agricultural village, has grown in the past two decades to become a commuter suburb. The old part of the city, with lots of history, is located to the southeast, while recent developments have been created in the northwest section. Plenty of open land should encourage further development. The Vermillion River runs through the older portion of the community.

The city has adapted to this new growth by instituting well-designed zoning and planning rules to keep growth under control.

The schools range from average to very good, with the city’s high school ranked in the average zone. The city is proud of its heritage. The old downtown district is well preserved and is a destination for visitors.
