Why Is Everyone Moving to Lakeville, MN?

Lakeville has added 8,481 residents since the 2020 census, climbing from 69,490 to an estimated 77,971, a 12.2 percent jump in six years that made it one of Minnesota's fastest-growing suburbs, and the city issued 548 residential building permits in 2025 alone, according to city figures reported by KSTP. Growth got so fast that in April 2026 the City Council paused new residential development applications for up to a year, including new subdivisions and rezonings, while schools and infrastructure catch up. Roughly 1,319 homes already cleared under earlier approvals can still be built during the pause, which means new streets keep filling up with moving trucks every month.


The draw is not complicated. You get Lake Marion and a park system most suburbs would trade for (Antlers Park alone was recently nominated for USA Today's Best Lake Beach and just added an accessible beachfront and playground, per Minnesota Parent), a genuine historic downtown along Holyoke Avenue, highly rated Lakeville Area Schools with two strong high schools in Lakeville North and Lakeville South, and a straight shot up I-35 to downtown Minneapolis, roughly 25 miles north. Typical home values sit around $515,000 per Homes.com, higher than neighboring Burnsville, Apple Valley, and Farmington, and buyers keep paying it.

Residential Movers for Every Lakeville Neighborhood

A move out of a 1970s single-level home near Orchard Lake is a different job than a move into a brand-new two-story in Spirit of Brandtjen Farm. Here is how we handle the areas we work in most.

Historic downtown and central Lakeville. The blocks around Holyoke Avenue date back to the town J.J. Brackett platted in 1855, and some commercial buildings have stood since the Dan Patch rail line, backed by investor Marion Savage, brought crowds to Antlers Amusement Park. Older homes here mean narrower staircases, detached garages, and alleys that a 26-foot truck cannot always reach. We scout access ahead of time and shuttle with smaller equipment when we need to.

Spirit of Brandtjen Farm and the north side. Large two-story homes, full basements, and three-car garages. These moves are volume jobs: more rooms, more boxes, and usually a piano or a gun safe somewhere in the mix. We size the crew and the truck to the room count.

Avonlea and south Lakeville's new construction. Builder closings drive this area, and closing dates slip. We build flexibility into every Avonlea booking so a two-day delay from the builder does not cost you your crew.

Lake Marion and Great Oak Shores. Lakeshore homes come with steep driveways, tight lake roads, and belongings that never see the inside of a normal house: docks, lifts, kayaks, pontoon gear. We plan these moves room by room and shore to shore.

Heritage Walk, SouthFork, and Lakeville's townhome communities. Townhomes and villas make up a big share of Lakeville's recent construction, including 644 townhome units still cleared to build through the moratorium, according to KSTP's report on the Lakeville moratorium, plus established communities like SouthFork Townhomes off Jubilee Way. HOA rules, shared driveways, and interior stairs are the challenges here, and our crews deal with all three weekly.

Common Moving Scenarios We Handle in Lakeville

Most of our Lakeville jobs fall into a handful of patterns, and each one gets planned differently:
  • The new-construction closing. You sell in Burnsville or Apple Valley, close on both houses the same week, and need everything staged around a final walkthrough. Our residential moving crews run same-day load and delivery across the south metro constantly.
  • The gap between closings. When your build is not done but your old house has sold, our storage services hold your household in secure, climate-controlled units until the keys are ready.
  • The apartment-to-first-house move. Plenty of Lakeville buyers start out at The Edison at Avonlea, The Edison at Spirit, Arris Lakeville, or the complexes along the Kenrick corridor like Lakeville Pointe. Our apartment moving teams handle elevator reservations, loading-dock windows, and third-floor walkups without drama.
  • The downsizing move. Longtime Lakeville homeowners heading to a villa, a senior community, or a smaller place near the grandkids. We sort, pack, and set up furniture at the destination so the new home works on night one.
  • The business relocation. Offices, clinics, and shops moving within Lakeville or into it from elsewhere in the metro. More on that below.

Melrose Park, IL DIY Moving TIP:

Reserve one room or garage area for packed boxes before moving day. Start with seasonal items, decor, and storage items first, then label each box by room so unloading in Melrose Park is faster and easier.

Did you know?

Did you know Lakeville permitted more townhomes than houses in 2025? The city issued permits for 229 single-family homes, 201 attached townhomes, and 118 detached townhomes that year, according to KSTP's moratorium report. For a suburb known for new subdivisions, that is a city adding density, not just acreage. It is also a lot of ground to cover: Lakeville spans 38 square miles according to the city's community profile, so a move from one Lakeville address to another is often a real drive across town rather than a few blocks. And the households making those moves skew family sized. The city's housing needs assessment found more than 42 percent of Lakeville households are families with children, against 29 percent across the metro. In practice that means full-house loads instead of apartment-sized ones, and a booking calendar that bunches up around the end of the school year.

AAA Reviews

Lakeville, MN DIY Moving Tip:

Clear out the household chemicals before you pack a single box. Paint, aerosols, propane tanks, and pool chemicals are hazardous waste rather than boxable goods, and Dakota County accepts all four from Lakeville residents at the Recycling Zone in Eagan. Bring your license, because staff scan the barcode on the back. Check Dakota County's posted fees first: televisions and monitors carry a $10 recycling fee and tires run $6 each at 15 inches or smaller, while everything else on the hazardous list is free. Old electronics go in the same trip. Handling this in week one turns a garage shelf you sort at your own pace into one thing that is not still sitting there on move morning.

Commercial Moving Near Airlake Industrial Park

Lakeville is not just a bedroom community: Airlake Industrial Park sits on the city's southeast side off I-35 and County Road 70, spreading across roughly 1,500 acres with 120 businesses and 4,200 jobs, according to Lakeville developer APPRO Development. Post Consumer Brands anchors the city too, having based its cereal headquarters at its Lakeville site in 2015, Food Business News reported. When a company in or near Airlake needs to expand, consolidate, or relocate, downtime is the real cost. Our commercial moving teams move offices and light industrial spaces on nights and weekends, label and reinstall workstations, and coordinate IT teardown so your people work Friday and work Monday.

What Makes Packing for a Lakeville Move Different?

Packing for a Lakeville move turns on two local realities, Minnesota winters and Pan-O-Prog street closures downtown. A January move here means frozen driveways, salt, and cardboard that fails in slush, so we wrap furniture inside the house and use plastic-lidded crates when weather turns. Pan-O-Prog, Lakeville's signature festival, fills early July with more than 80 events, and Holyoke Avenue downtown closes for the carnival, cruise night, and the Grand Parade. If your move lands in that stretch, we route around the closures and schedule your load time so the truck is never boxed in. Our full packing services cover everything from a kitchen-only partial pack to a whole-house pack with custom crating for artwork and TVs.

Lakeville Moving FAQs

Planning a move in Lakeville comes with local details like new-construction closings, lakeshore access, apartment and townhome rules, and busy summer schedules. These answers cover common questions from homeowners, renters, and businesses in the area.

Most local moves in the Minneapolis metro, Lakeville included, land between $523 and $1,639, with the typical household paying about $1,081 and two-mover crews running roughly $100 an hour, according to Angi's Minneapolis cost data, updated May 5, 2026. AAA Movers does not price Lakeville moves off a flat rate, and our billing rules are published in our moving FAQ: a two-hour minimum, a $50 deposit to hold your date, and a clock that runs only while your items are on the truck, not from when we leave to when we return. The estimate itself comes from an inventory of your home, the move date, and the distance between addresses. Access is what moves the total most here: a two-bedroom townhome in Heritage Walk prices differently than a five-bedroom on Lake Marion with a long carry to the water. Request a free quote and you will know your number before move day, not after.
Three to four weeks for most summer dates in Lakeville, and more for the last weekend of the month. Early July fills especially fast because Pan-O-Prog closes streets around Holyoke Avenue while demand peaks.
Yes, weekly. AAA Movers builds slack into Lakeville new-construction bookings because builder closings slip, and our crews protect new floors and railings with runners and door jamb guards before anything comes off the truck.
Yes. We plan for steep or shared driveways, long carries, and lake gear like dock sections and kayaks. If the road cannot take a full-size truck, we shuttle with smaller equipment.
All the time. Our residential moving crews handle apartments near downtown Lakeville, townhomes across the city, and everything in between, including elevator buildings with tight loading windows.
