TWIN CITIES NEW CONSTRUCTION GUIDE 2026 V2

BEST FIT: Buyers who want a newer single-family home in Cottage Grove with more square footage and a more move-up feel than many entry-level communities. It should appeal most to buyers who want a straightforward D.R. Horton process but still like having options between one-level and two-story layouts. Northwick Valley

WHAT TO KNOW: This is more of a home-and-homesite neighborhood than an amenity-driven one. There's no big clubhouse or pool story here, but pond or greenspace-facing lots, access to nearby trails and parks, and a tucked-away location just off Military Road give it good practical access to Highway 61. That makes Northwick Valley a better fit for buyers who want size, newer finishes, and a quieter residential setting than for someone looking for a more social, heavily amenitized community. STANDOUT FEATURE: The home profile. Northwick Valley is a D.R. Horton Tradition Series neighborhood, with larger one- and two-story plans ranging from roughly 1,665 to 3,448 square feet, with features like three-car garages, main-level bedrooms in some plans, lofts, and finished lower-level options on select homes.

Ravine Crossing BEST FIT: Buyers who want a move-up style home with more finished living space right away, but without stepping into a higher-end custom neighborhood. The current D.R. Horton lineup here is centered on the Express Premier series, which is geared toward buyers who want functional family-sized layouts and a relatively simple building process.

Armstrong Elementary School: 6/10 Cottage Grove Middle School: 6/10 Park Senior High School: 5/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com

STANDOUT FEATURE: The home style itself. Vaulted main levels, finished lower levels, and 3-car garages are core parts of the community's offering — different from the many two-story-only neighborhoods nearby. WHAT TO KNOW: This is more about home layout and everyday convenience than neighborhood amenities. Quick access to parks, trails, shopping, and dining — including Woodridge Park, Arbor Meadows Park, and River Oaks Golf Course — defines the practical appeal rather than a clubhouse or pool inside the community itself. Ravine Crossing is a single-family-only neighborhood with homes generally running from about 1,988 to 2,513 square feet, so it fits buyers who want detached living and usable space, not low-maintenance or attached-home options.
