Town in Minnesota
Current Resident: I like the small town feel, yet the city is close enough to be able to take advantage of all it has to offer. Delano is a very safe community with very good schools, and people are proud to say they are from Delano, MN. A well known event is all that Delano has to offer during the 4th of July. The largest parade in MN, the vibrant fireworks display, and the carnival are just a few. Some winter activities consist of the Old Fashioned Christmas, sleigh rides, the Christmas tree lighting, Christmas Carolers, hot cocoa around the bonfire, and all of the quaint little shops to browse through....

Former Resident: I lived in Albertville, Minnesota for the majority of my upbringing. It is a quiet and safe suburb of Minneapolis, and is an excellent blend of being close enough to the city attractions and far enough to create a serene environment. The public schools are very good and the overall quality of life is high. Albertville is a relatively close knit community, however, it is in no way intrusive. Outsiders are excepted with open arms as members of the neighborhood. It is an incredible place to raise children as the area hosts many kid friendly activities and contains many parks, dog parks, swimming pools, biking paths, etc. Albertville sights right besides an outlet mall which adds to its already convenient location....

Current Resident: Annandale is known to the surrounding communities as "the heart of the lakes" and for great reason! There are SO many lakes surrounding this cute little community! Annandale public schools consistently score very high on standardized testing in Minnesota and provide children with opportunities to connect and form lasting relationships with their teachers. Annandale is a very family friendly and safe community with low crime. It is an ideal location, with a short commute to the larger surrounding towns of Buffalo, Monticello, and St. Cloud and only one hour west of the twin cities, yet has the small town, quiet feel. Housing is very affordable, with options of living right in town, on the lakeshore, or in the countryside. This little town has been steadily growing over time and the real estate market is promising. In a nutshell, Annandale is a wonderful place to raise your family!... Read 7 reviews

Current Resident: Montrose is a wonderful community that provides many outdoor activities and events. Because of our location, many residents are able commute to the cities every day. Our cost of living is much lower compared to city living and we are experiencing tremendous growth. Unfortunately housing has not kept up with that growth so we are also experiencing rising housing costs which will hopefully even out over time. We have many local small business and are always encouraging growth and new business, not only for tax reasons but to keep our dollars here at home. Our schools are wonderful and have received many awards. We are linked with a bigger school district that also offer many more opportunities that we would never be able to offer on our own....
