10+ Reasons to Live in Rochester, MN


10. You never have to water your lawn or plants.

9. There are parks and trails all over.

8. One hour away from the Mall of America.

7. Summer is fantastic weather... usually high 70's and low 80's.

6. Small town friendliness meets big city atmosphere. Was Money Magazine’s “Best Small City” in 2000.

5. Fireflies at night.

4. No state safety or emissions required on vehicles (thank you Jesse Ventura)

3. Anywhere in the city, you are within 15 minutes of the Mayo Clinic.(We happen to live less than five minutes away.)

2. It is green and beautiful everywhere.

1. Amazing Garage sales run Thursday, Friday and Saturday. My dreams have come true.

Also, a handsome couple with an adorabe nine month old boy who gets, "What a beautiful little girl" comments on a daily basis live there.
