Great Schools,
Great Communities
Top Minnesota cities for families
— featuring highly rated schools,
2026 home prices and the extras
that make each community worth
considering.
For families shopping for a home,
the search often starts with the
schools. Fortunately, some of
Minnesota’s strongest publicschool options are located right
in the Twin Cities suburbs —
along with parks, trails, lakes and
neighborhoods
designed
for
everyday family life.
For
this
guide,
we
used
GreatSchools ratings, checked in
August 2026.

One
important
note:
a
GreatSchools score is a useful
starting point, not a complete
measure of a school, and ratings
can change as new data becomes
available.

Schools district.
