Apple Valley, Minnesota was founded in 1969 by real estate developer Orin Thompson. What started out as four homes has blossomed into a thriving suburb with a population of over 51,000 residents. Apple Valley is home to the Minnesota Zoo, a popular attraction featuring hundreds of animals from around the world with both indoor and outdoor exhibits and habitats for year-round viewing. The city hosts two annual events each year, a 4th of July festival called Apple Valley Freedom Days with parades and fireworks and the Apple Valley Winter Carnival featuring a medallion hunt, ice skating, and children’s activities. RE/MAX Results opened its Apple Valley office in 2000. To learn more about Apple Valley, visit the Apple Valley community page.
