About Mendota Heights

Mendota Heights is a first-ring southern suburb of the Twin Cities in Dakota County. Its location is the main story: close to St. Paul, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the Minnesota River, and major routes such as I-35E, I-494, Highway 55, and Highway 62. The city is mostly residential, with schools, parks, office areas, and wooded neighborhoods spread across bluffs and rolling terrain. Mendota Heights feels residential and established, but unusually nearby for commuting across the east and south metro.
