2021 Best Places to Live in Kandiyohi County

Dovre Township

• Town in Minnesota
• Rating 4 out of 5  1 review

Current Resident: Dovre Township is placed just between Willmar MN and Spicer MN. It is a rural setting but placed near several lakes. The area does have higher taxes than many of the other townships in the Willmar area but it is still extremely low compared to other regions in the US. The area is extremely family friendly and very safe. You are more likely to be hit by lightning than be a victim of crime in this area. I would highly recommend the area for folks interested in clean quiet living near a nice town with excellent schools...Read 1 Review

New London Township

• Town in Minnesota
• Rating 4.5 out of 5  2 reviews

Current Resident: New London is a small town in a rural area with many nice shops and kind people. It is a very artistic community, murals and mosaics can be found around town, all centered around a beautiful pond that originally lured people to this fun-filled community. There are many attractions tourists can enjoy in New London, along with kayaking down the Mill Pond, biking around town, or enjoying the summertime down at the cooling lakes...Read 2 Reviews

Willmar

• Town in Minnesota
• Rating 3.2 out of 5  25 reviews

Current Resident: Willmar Minnesota is a great place to live! My grandparents on my mother's side lived most of their life in Willmar. There are many fun things to do in Willmar, there is plenty of job opportunities and a real sense of community among the citizens. Willmar is a bicycle-friendly city and has several bike trails that double as snowmobile trails in the winter time. To me, one of the most important features of Willmar is Ridgewater College. This school is what brought me to Willmar and because of my education, I will have a successful life in the future. Now, I consider myself a Willmarite, I plan to live here and carry on my family's tradition...Read 25 Reviews

Spicer

• Town in Minnesota
• Rating 4.75 out of 5  4 reviews

Current Resident: You know what they say, "Spicer is nicer!" This is honestly so true after you visit this town. Everyone waves at you or smiles at you, regardless of what you're doing or even if they know you or not. I have never met nicer people before. They are willing to jump in without being asked to help. The town itself is small enough to get that "I know everyone" feeling, but spread out just enough to have your alone time when needed. Spicer is located right on Green Lake, which is beautiful and fun at the same time. One of the pluses is that everyone wants, and makes an effort, to keep the lake clean...Read 4 Reviews

Kandiyohi

• Town in Minnesota
• Rating 4 out of 5  1 review

Visitor: This is a silent farm community in the middle of nowhere and it's one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life. Get lost at Little Kandi Lake off HWY 7 and spend hours fishing and bird watching. Flat and rolling farm fields for miles. Quiet. Willmar is only 20 minutes away West, for shopping. My reviews below are literal and not reflective of a complaint. For example 1 star for schools because there really are none there...Read 1 Review
