Burnsville in context
Burnsville is anchored by M Health Fairview Ridges Hospital, which has served the southern suburbs since 1984, and the city has one of the more established senior-housing markets in the south metro, with communities clustered near the Burnsville Center mall and along County Road 42. Interstate 35W and 35E both pass through the city, and the METRO Red Line's southern terminus sits just over the border in Apple Valley, giving Burnsville residents bus rapid transit access north to the airport and Mall of America. Housing stock is predominantly 1970s-1990s split-levels and ramblers, common building types now marketed for one-level senior downsizing.
