Mendota Heights is one of the Twin Cities' premier
suburbs, offering high quality residential and business areas.
The influence of river bluffs, rolling topography and wooded areas
has provided an excellent setting for residential development.
The topography led to the creation of a curvilinear local street
system and allowed for intimate residential neighborhoods to be
nestled amongst mature wooded settings, lakes, wetlands, nature
preserves and the Mississippi and Minnesota River bluffs.
The nearly 11,000 residents of Mendota Heights enjoy
close proximity to an extensive system of local and regional parks
and convenient access to the regional highway system. Major employment
centers such as downtown Minneapolis, St. Paul, MSP International
Airport and the Mall of America are virtually only minutes away.
These factors have help make Mendota Heights an attractive place
to live and enable it to maintain a quiet, private way of life.
The city welcomes high quality business development,
and approximately 25% of the city's 10 square miles has been reserved
for that purpose. There are currently about 4,500 jobs in Mendota
Heights, and that number is expected to grow to around 6,000.
