Communities New Prague
A bridge between rural and suburban/metropolitan
New Prague’s motto is “A Tradition of Progress,” and it shows. Located just 45 miles southwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul and in close proximity to Interstate 35 and U.S. Highway 169, residents and businesses enjoy New Prague’s small-town feel, outstanding amenities and quick access to the Twin Cities.
SmartAsset released rankings from its second annual Healthiest Housing Markets Study for 2016 and New Prague made the list at number 8 in Minnesota. The study measures market health by the average number of years residents spend in homes, home values, ease of sale, and the costs associated with ownership.
