Since the creation of the City of Inver Grove Heights in 1965, the area has grown to 28 square miles that provide a healthy mix of quiet residential neighborhoods and busy commercial districts. Today, Inver Grove Heights is home to approximately 35,000 residents, who enjoy excellent schools, park facilities, a community center and a golf course that is among the Twin Cities’ best.

Located in Northern Dakota County, a ten-minute drive from downtown St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights is bordered on the east by the Mississippi River. Lakes, ponds, and wetlands cover many areas of the city, providing a beautiful natural setting and year-round recreational activities.  Residents have a wide choice of housing, ranging from apartments to large-lot estates.

Every September the community celebrates Inver Grove Heights Days. Highlights include a treasure hunt, sporting activities and tournaments, a street dance, parade, fireworks display and citywide garage sale. Inver Grove Heights is also known as a great place to view holiday lights each December. These family-centered events attract people from around the area.

The diverse history, prime location, affordability, available land, and quality of life that Inver Grove Heights offers makes our city a great choice when looking for a home, a business or development opportunity, or a place to spend time exploring nature.
