For a small town, Blue Earth holds up pretty well it terms of opportunities. It has a good school and plenty of available jobs for people to look into. The housing market is decent also, with affordable and attractive homes in quiet areas of town.
It's a great town where everyone knows everyone. There is not much to do but the local pool and park is a great place to be. You can even play frisbee golf! The high school is small but all of the town supports the school teams. The bucenners are what they are called or Bucs. Its a slightly religious school. It has a football, baseball, track, golf, and tennis. There's also speech, robotics, art club, and many more things! It may be boring but you get a close-knit community, were everyone cares for everyone.
As a resident and former student in Blue Earth, Minnesota, I consider myself knowledgeable about this town. It is a great community with lots of great people, but as a rural small town it also has it's downsides. If you are looking for nightlife or great restaurants you will probably not find them here! However, it is within driving distance (1 hour or less) of movie theaters, great restaurants, and other fun activities. If you would like a sleepy, small town vibe then Blue Earth will be right up your sleeves.
