What to know

The city is situated at the connection of Interstate 35W and State Hwy 10, and is conveniently ten miles from Minneapolis and St. Paul. Mounds View is renowned for its large, wooded residential lots and wide housing variations. The city has a total area of 4.12 square miles, of which 4.03 square miles is land and 0.09 square miles is water.

Mounds View got its name from the mounds or small hills that once existed, but were removed during World War II, when the land became used for an arsenal location. The mounds were mostly littering the northwest corner of the township and were tall enough to be seen from almost anywhere in the area. The Township of Mounds View was established the same day that Minnesota became a state, 1858. With a substantial population, and neighbored by Blaine, Arden Hills, New Brighton, and Spring Lake Park, Mounds View is fully established. This city is a great location in which to live, as it is large enough to offer everyday amenities, but small enough to contain calm residential neighborhoods.
