Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lakeville
- Seniors who aren't fond of cold weather might not enjoy living in Lakeville. Like the rest of Minnesota, Lakeville is prone to harsh winter weather with average temperatures in the teens and frequent snowfall. Spring, summer, and fall are all mild seasons though, making it easy for seniors to enjoy outdoor activities when possible.

Pollution in Lakeville is 52 percent worse than the national average, which could be a problem for seniors with chronic breathing conditions.
- Lakeville's overall cost of living is 12 percent higher than the state average and 14 percent higher than the national average. However, the cost of healthcare services averages eight percent lower than Minnesota's median. This may make it easier for seniors on a fixed income to find affordable options.
