There are many great options for shopping and eating out in Coon Rapids. It is like a one stop hub of things to do. There are bowling alleys, movie theaters, many restaurants, clothing and other retail stores to go to. The people you meet are nice and always smiley. River dale area is my favorite spot to hang out! Coon Rapids is a very fun family and friend oreiented city! You will have a lot of fun here!

Family friendly, safe area! I have been here for over 3 years and will continue to stay. I have family from out o town who feel comfortable staying and visiting.
Coon Rapids is a great place to live, but I wouldn't recommend for new families. The town is older and hasn't developed some of the new trends. The schools aren't bad, but the ability for kids to be involved, especially in athletics, is limited and becoming more scarce as the years go on. There may be a comeback in the future, but it isn't the best currently.
