TWIN CITIES NEW CONSTRUCTION GUIDE 2026 V2

Hawthorne

COTTAGE GROVE NEIGHBORHOODS

BEST FIT: Move-up buyers who want a newer single-family neighborhood in Cottage Grove with practical family-sized floor plans, nearby parks, and easy access to Woodbury and St. Paul. It feels better suited for buyers who value convenience and everyday livability than for those looking for a more custom or estate-style setting.

Cottage Grove Elementary School: 8/10 Oltman Middle School: 6/10 East Ridge High School: 10/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com

WHAT TO KNOW: This is a production-built, single-family-only neighborhood, so the value is tied more to efficient layouts, square footage, and a straightforward building process than to amenities like a pool or clubhouse. Homes generally range from about 2,126–3,377 square feet, which positions Hawthorne more toward the move-up segment than the entry-level side of Cottage Grove new construction. STANDOUT FEATURE: The combination of scale and location. Hawthorne is a single-family community with 149 homesites, walking trails, open green space, and walkable access to Peter Thompson Park — more built-in neighborhood infrastructure than a smaller one-phase development.

Hinton Woods

BEST FIT: Buyers looking for a more affordable path into newer construction in Cottage Grove, especially if low-maintenance living matters more than having a big yard or a long list of amenities. With single-family sold out, the active inventory is centered on three- story townhomes with HOA-covered exterior upkeep.

Cottage Grove Elementary School: 8/10 Oltman Middle School: 6/10 East Ridge High School: 10/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com

Sizes: Single Family Sold Out Sizes: Townhomes 1,687 SQF Distance To Target: 9 min Style: Single Family, Townhomes

STANDOUT FEATURE: The biggest draw is convenience. The townhome section includes walking trails and a neighborhood path connecting to Cottage Grove Elementary, which makes the location feel especially practical for buyers who want newer construction with easy access to school and everyday errands. WHAT TO KNOW: This is better suited for buyers who want something functional, simple, and easier on the budget than for someone looking for a detached home with more privacy or a community with bigger amenities. The townhome product is the active inventory — 3-bedroom layouts around 1,687 square feet. With single-family sold out, Hinton Woods now reads as a townhome-focused opportunity, less suited for buyers who want a detached home or larger lot.
