Prior Lake Neighborhoods: A Local’s Guide
I’ve lived in Prior Lake since 1986 and sold homes here for 22 years. This is my take on each area: what it’s like and what homes sell for.
Lakefront homes, golf course neighborhoods, 1970s split-levels, new construction, townhomes and condos: the range is wide, and the right fit depends on what you’re after. The neighborhoods below are grouped by type.
Prices are closed sales from the MLS for homes with Prior Lake mailing addresses, which include parts of Credit River and Spring Lake Township. Each neighborhood shows sales from the last 12 months, or a longer window where only a few homes sold. For the citywide numbers, see the housing market page.
Based on information from the Regional Multiple Listing Service of Minnesota, Inc. for the period January 1, 2012 through September 28, 2026: Prior Lake home sales and homes for sale, by neighborhood. Data believed to be accurate but should be independently verified.
A note on school assignments
New elementary boundaries took effect this fall for the 2026-27 school year. WestWood is no longer a neighborhood school, and La ola del lago, the district’s Spanish immersion school, is in the WestWood building now. Look up any address in the district’s 2026-27 school finder. A few neighborhoods with Prior Lake mailing addresses are in the Lakeville, Shakopee or Jordan school districts instead, and their sections say so. More on the district is on the schools page.
Lakefront, estate and acreage homes
Last 12 months: the median lakefront home in Prior Lake sold for $1.10M (55 sales). Homes in the four neighborhoods below sold for a median of $1.14M (12 sales).
Lakefront here means the lot touches the water. Lake homes are hard to compare because every lot is different: shoreline shape, water exposure, lot slope, views and the dock setup all change the price. If you want the lake without buying lakefront, see the lake association neighborhoods below.

The Territory
The Territory is in Credit River, southeast of the city, with Prior Lake mailing addresses. It’s a planned community of custom homes built from 2004 to 2023 on lots of about a half acre to an acre, with a shared lodge and pool, a splash pad, playgrounds and paved trails. The HOA runs about $235 to $310 a month and includes the lodge and trails. Homes share a community well and septic system. In MLS records, every home sold here is in the Lakeville school district. Homes sold for $925K to $1.43M in the last 12 months (5 sales, median $1.18M).
Grey Fox Estates
Custom homes on lots of about 2.5 acres and up in Credit River, near Cleary Lake Regional Park, with Prior Lake mailing addresses and a rural feel. Most were built from 2000 to 2011, many of them walkout ramblers. The homes are on private wells and septic, and the HOA is small, about $100 to $250 a year, mostly for architectural controls. Grey Fox is split between two school districts: in MLS records, about half the homes sold here are in Prior Lake-Savage schools and half in Lakeville schools, so check the address before you buy. Homes sold for $926K to $1.42M in the last 12 months (6 sales, median $1.04M).
Harvest Bluffs
Acreage lots of about 2.5 to 3.2 acres in Spring Lake Township, south of the city, with Prior Lake mailing addresses. Custom homes by Moderno Homes and other builders, on private wells and septic.

The Wilds
A golf course community around The Wilds Golf Club (designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish), near Mystic Lake Casino in northwest Prior Lake. It takes in several smaller neighborhoods: The Wilds North and South, Sterling North and South, the Villas, the Woods, the Preserve and The Approach. Housing ranges from townhomes to detached villas and custom homes, built mostly from the late 1990s to the mid 2010s. There are several HOAs with different fees. The Villas’ HOA is higher because it covers lawn, snow and exterior upkeep. Paved walking trails run through the neighborhood. Single-family homes sold for $550K to $1.18M in the last 12 months (17 sales, median $840K). Townhomes sold for $520K to $875K in the same 12 months (9 sales, median $584K).

Neighborhoods with lake association access
You don’t have to buy lakefront to get lake access
Many Prior Lake neighborhoods have their own lake associations with a beach, docks or a private launch. Some associations are voluntary with yearly dues; at others, every home pays dues. Slips, waitlists, fees and what’s included differ from one association to the next, so ask the association about slips and dues before you buy.

Oakland Beach
An established neighborhood on the east shore of Lower Prior Lake with a wide range of homes, most of them built in the 1970s. The lakefront homes have mostly been remodeled or rebuilt. The off-lake homes are more modest, and many could use updating. The Oakland Beach Association has a private boat launch, dock slips, a sandy beach with a swimming area, a picnic pavilion, a fire pit and parking. That’s the draw for the off-lake homes: lake access for less than a lakefront price. In the last three years, two lakefront homes here sold, and off-lake homes sold for $440K to $655K (4 sales).

Entry-level single-family homes
Last 12 months: homes in these three neighborhoods sold for $378K to $450K (13 sales, median $425K).
If you’re buying your first home or working with a tighter budget, these are the lower-priced single-family neighborhoods on this page. The tradeoff is usually an older home, less space or some updating. Single-family homes under $350K were rare in the last 12 months (17 of 332 sales, or 5%), so the townhomes and condos in the next section are the other place to look.

What to think about as you explore
- Lake access: Direct lakefront, association access with a beach and a slip, or a public launch nearby. Very different experiences at very different prices.
- HOA: Some communities charge a small fee for architectural controls. Others charge more each month and cover lawn, snow and exterior upkeep. Ask what the dues include before you compare prices.
- Mailing address: A Prior Lake mailing address doesn’t always mean the city of Prior Lake. The Territory, Legends Club and Grey Fox Estates are in Credit River, and Harvest Bluffs and Scenic Bay Estates are in Spring Lake Township. Taxes and services follow the city or township the home is in.
- School district: Boundaries changed for 2026-27, so check the address in the district’s 2026-27 finder. Check the district itself, too: some Prior Lake addresses are in the Lakeville, Shakopee or Jordan districts.
- Well and septic: Grey Fox Estates, Harvest Bluffs and the Casey plats are on private wells and septic systems, and The Territory shares a community well and septic. Plan on inspections before you buy.
- Commute routes: Your daily drive to Highway 13, Highway 169 or County Road 42 changes a lot depending on which part of town you’re in. Drive the route at rush hour before you commit. The commute guide has typical drive times.
- Lot and home age: Prior Lake has everything from 1920s lake cabins to homes finished this year. Age isn’t good or bad, but it changes what you budget for upkeep and updates.
- Nearby towns: Still choosing a town? See Prior Lake side by side with Savage, Shakopee, Lakeville and Burnsville.
