The Newest Median in the Metro, and a Downtown From the 1800s

Shakopee's median build year is 1999 — the newest of any city we serve — with 30.7% of its homes added between 2000 and 2009 and another 12.9% in the 2010s. And yet roughly 3% of the housing predates 1940, concentrated in and around a historic downtown of brick buildings that has been there since the nineteenth century.

What Sitting Below the Bluff Line Does to an Exterior

Shakopee sits on the Minnesota River, and the valley is a real factor on the lower-lying parts of the city rather than a piece of scenery.

Across Shakopee

Durahome serves the whole city — Dean Lakes, Savanna Oaks, Southbridge and Riverside Fields among the newer developments, the streets around the historic downtown, and the neighborhoods running up from the river toward the south of the city. The split matters for planning as much as for pricing. On a newer street, the houses were built together and reach the same point together, so a walkthrough usually confirms what a neighbor has already found. In the older core, no two houses are on the same schedule and each one needs reading on its own.

When to Book in Shakopee

Exterior painting here runs roughly May through early October, and St. Paul fills earlier than most of the metro for one specific reason: the houses take longer. A detailed facade is a week rather than three days, so a crew's season holds fewer St. Paul projects than it holds suburban ones, and the good slots go early.
