Bards Crossing of Evermoor sits within the Evermoor master-planned development in Rosemount — an older condo community (built 2003–2005) at approximately $200K that offers legal age-restriction combined with Dakota County's lowest-in-metro tax rate. For south metro buyers who want age-restriction at an affordable price, this is the option.
Being part of the Evermoor development means access to the broader master-planned community's common areas and trail systems, though Bards Crossing itself is a smaller condo association within that larger context. Rosemount is a growing Dakota County city with good south metro access.
Building age matters here: Bards Crossing was built 2003–2005 — now 20–23 years old. This is the age range where roofing, mechanical systems, and common area capital items become significant. Request the association's reserve fund study before purchasing. The Dakota County tax advantage is real, but a depleted reserve fund can generate a special assessment that negates it quickly.
Bards Crossing is the only community in this market that combines legal age-restriction, Dakota County's low tax rate, and a sub-$250K purchase price. For south metro buyers on fixed income who value all three, no other community delivers this combination.
