Why Buy a Home in Prior lake?
Prior Lake is a lifestyle all its own. Built around 14 lakes and 1,340-acre Upper- and Lower Prior Lake, with sandy beaches and a Lakefront Park that's the heart of town, it offers summers on the water you won't find anywhere else in the metro — plus the well-loved Prior Lake-Savage schools (ISD 719). It's also been the south metro's strongest market over the past decade, with home values more than doubling, so the lifestyle and the long-term value both pay off.
