The friendliness of the people. It is very family- friendly. Lots of bike trails and the dam offers a great recreational area. The police and fire department have very fast response times whenever we have called them. I was really impressed during this particular incident two summers ago; someone had set the portable bathroom on fire in the newly- remodeled Riverview Park. I was there with my children and we stopped the fire immediately and called the police. In less than five minutes, I had a police squad car and a fire truck in the park. They were very appreciative of the call and glad that there was no fire to put out. The fire fighters were especially thankful that we caught the fire before it burned the toilet down as this had happened at a different park as they informed me later. I am glad to be a resident of Coon Rapids, MN!
Coon rapids is a very diverse town. It is located only 30 minutes north of the cities (W/out traffic). It contains a small mall and a shopping area called riverdale roughly the size of a hamlet containing retail stores and dinning options.throughout most neigborhoods there are biking/walking trails for civilians to explore at there leasure. I am currently enrolled in coon rapids high school, it is an outstanding facility with a wide variety of clubs and activities. The teachers truely care about the students in there class and want to them to succeed. The high school has implimented classes to help prepare students to go to college for medical(biomed) and engineering.
My experience with living in Coon Rapids has been positive fir the most part. The Metro bus passes through here so, if you don't drive transportation isn't a huge issue. There's a car dealership near by, some fast food restaurants, a park, grocery store, a gym, middle school, and a high school. If you do drive I personally don't think the neighborhood isn't far from major cities like Minneapolis/St.Paul. I just wish there was more diversity and shopping centers close by. I also wished more business would open up around here for employment purposes.
