Lake Crystal is a small midwestern town located in southwestern Minnesota. The school district, ISD 2071, comprises of Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial Elementary and Secondary Schools, which acts as the main school for many of the surrounding farm communities. Lake Crystal is mainly a residential town, but there is a small downtown area that consists of a few restaurants, a thrift store, and a hardware store to name a few businesses. Lake Crystal is also the location of the area's Co-op and is surrounded by 4 lakes, so there are almost always lakefront properties and farmland available for purchase/rental. Lake Crystal is located near Mankato, MN, which is home to at least four colleges. As such, it is a thriving area and filled with most of the amenities (restaurants, groceries, theaters, parks, etc.) that you may want. If you still are feeling like you're missing something, the Twin Cities are only an hour and a half away!
I have lived in Lake Crystal since I was 12 years old. I made many friends here, but as we all do when we grow up, we grow apart. I am now a senior in high school, I still go to school with the same small class I will be graduating with. If I could see any change in this town, it would be the way people treat others. People seem to lack a sense of respect, not only for others, but for themselves too. Another thing I would like to see change is the lake pollution, the town is called Lake Crystal for a reason. It would be nice to have a nice clean lake to fish or swim in. Or even a beach you can walk down that isn’t polluted with waste. These may be small things, but to me, they could make huge differences.
I have lived in Lake Crystal my whole life. Lake Crystal is a good community to live in. Everybody supports all the local events. It is always nice to see our community come together and support each other. Lake Crystal is a very small town with not many opportunities. Being do close to Mankato, the opportunities open up a little more. Lake Crystal is a family community. My neighborhood always has a get together with all the families. It is a good community to be apart of.
