TWIN CITIES NEW CONSTRUCTION GUIDE 2026 V2

Glacial Valley Estates

COTTAGE GROVE NEIGHBORHOODS

BEST FIT: Buyers who want newer construction in Cottage Grove without taking on the upkeep or price point of a detached home. It makes the most sense for someone who values a simpler, lower- maintenance ownership experience but still wants enough square footage to feel like they're not compromising too much on livability.

Price Range: $365–385K Builders: Donnay Homes Sizes: Townhomes 1,934 SQF Distance To Target: 9 min Style: Townhomes

Lawn Care, Snow Removal, Hazard Insurance, Common Area Maintenance, Professional Management

Grey Cloud Elementary School: 9/10 Cottage Grove Middle School: 6/10 East Ridge High School: 10/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com

WHAT TO KNOW: This is a townhome-focused, maintenance-oriented neighborhood rather than an amenity-driven one. The HOA covers exterior maintenance, hazard insurance, lawn care, snow removal, trash, and professional management, so the value here is tied more to ease of ownership and setting than to a pool, clubhouse, or large social amenity package. STANDOUT FEATURE: The setting. Glacial Valley is a large, newly established townhome development with many treed or tree- view homesites, and some homes backing to or running along the new Military Road Trail — more visual interest than a typical attached-home community.

Graymont Village BEST FIT: Buyers who want a straightforward single-family neighborhood in Cottage Grove with a wider range of Lennar floor plans, but without the complexity of a mixed-product community. It makes the most sense for buyers who value a simpler buying process, practical layouts, and quick access to Highway 61, I-494, and east metro conveniences.

Price Range: $430–555K Builders: Lennar Sizes: Single Family Homes 1,828–2,505 SQF

None. HOA:

Pine Hill Elementary School: 6/10 Oltman Middle School: 6/10 Park Senior High School: 5/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com

Distance To Target: 7 min Style: Single Family Homes

STANDOUT FEATURE: The range within the community itself. Lennar actively sells multiple collections at Graymont Village, including both more accessible Venture plans and larger Heritage plans — more flexibility in size and layout than a smaller one-collection neighborhood. WHAT TO KNOW: This is more of a convenience-and-layout neighborhood than an amenity-driven one. Quick access to the Mississippi River, nearby shopping and services, quiet neighborhood streets, and a mix of two-story and rambler-style options define the appeal — not a pool, clubhouse, or large shared amenity package. That makes Graymont Village a stronger fit for buyers prioritizing location, floor-plan choice, and newer construction over customization or a more lifestyle-focused community setup.
