If you're thinking about moving to Rosemount, Minnesota, one of the most helpful things to understand is how the housing stock has developed over time.

Unlike some suburbs that were built almost entirely in one era, Rosemount offers homes from multiple decades — from early neighborhoods with mature trees to newer construction communities with room still left for future growth.

Here’s a look at what homes in Rosemount typically look like depending on when they were built.

 


Early Rosemount Homes (Pre-1950)

There are only a small number of homes in Rosemount that were built before 1950.

Last year, just six homes from this era sold.

Because inventory is limited, most buyers looking in Rosemount will end up focusing on homes built in later decades.


Rosemount Homes Built Between 1950 and 1970

This is where you begin to see established neighborhoods forming throughout the city.

Last year:

  • 35 homes sold

  • Average price: $353,000

  • Typical size: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms

  • About 1,700 square feet

These neighborhoods often feature:

  • Mature boulevard trees

  • Larger traditional lot sizes

  • Well-maintained streets

  • Classic rambler-style homes

For buyers looking for affordability combined with established neighborhoods, this era can be a strong option.


Rosemount Homes Built Between 1970 and 1990

Moving into the 70s and 80s, Rosemount saw significant growth.

Last year:

  • 55 homes sold

  • Average price: $431,000

  • Typical size: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

  • Around 2,100 square feet

In these neighborhoods, you’ll commonly see:

  • Split-entry homes

  • Larger ramblers

  • Early two-story designs

  • Similar lot sizes to earlier neighborhoods

These homes often provide more interior space while still maintaining mature landscaping.


Rosemount Homes Built Between 1990 and 2010

As development continued, homes began shifting toward more modern layouts.

Last year:

  • 83 homes sold

  • Average price: $538,000

  • Typical size: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

  • Around 2,800 square feet

Homes from this period typically feature:

  • More open-concept floor plans

  • Modified two-story layouts

  • Larger full two-story homes

  • Expanded suburban neighborhood designs

For many buyers, this era offers a balance between modern layout and established communities.


New Construction & Homes Built After 2010

This is where Rosemount really stands out compared to surrounding suburbs.

Last year:

  • 222 homes sold built after 2010

  • Average price: $560,000

  • Typical size: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms

  • About 2,700 square feet

Many of these homes may appear slightly smaller on paper than the previous era because unfinished basements are common in newer construction.

One major advantage of Rosemount is that there is still land available for future development, something that is becoming increasingly rare in nearby suburbs.

That means buyers looking for new construction still have meaningful options here.
