Saint Cloud is a great place to live. It offers a small town feel with big town opportunities.
St. Cloud has many companies to choose to work for like Target, Walmart and Best Buy; banking companies Wolters-Kluwer and Capital 360; manufacturing companies Polaris and New Flyer and tech firm Marco and the hospitals and clinics of Centracare. There are also many small local firms looking for good employees.
St. Cloud offers many entertainment choices. From art crawls, community theatre, orchestras, chamber music, movies, bowling, BMX, car racing, baseball and hockey...there is truly something for everyone.
There are many nature areas to explore. The Beaver Island Trail follows the Mississippi through St.Cloud. Lake George in downtown offers fishing, paddle boating, walking trails, a splash pad and playground areas with picnic tables. Stop by on a Wednesday evening in the summer and hear local bands performing at Summertime by George. You'll probably run into a neighbor or two!

I moved there for 6 months just to get a change in scenery. My husband and I lived in an expensive apartment that was in an expensive neighborhood. Our locked car was robbed twice, one of those times included stealing my purse. Everyday in the news there was a different story.. shootings, stabbing a, robberies. My anxiety was at an all time high living here. The crime is terrible. I’m only giving the two stars because there are tons of options for shopping. There are tons of “healthy” grocery store and dining options (vegan, gluten free). There is tons of diversity if that’s what you’re into. Also, there is a pretty nice mall. Just be sure to peep over your shoulder once in a while to make sure someone’s not robbing your bag. Saint Cloud offers tons of little parks on the river which is refreshing. From my POV, looking at Saint Cloud online looks beautiful but please do NOT move here. Do not bring your family here, it is super unsafe.
The City of St. Cloud is a community filled with diversity and culture. From the historic downtown to the booming commercial areas, St. Cloud has a lot to offer. Surrounded by several lakes, park and colleges St. Cloud is not only a destination, but a place to call home. The City of St. Cloud is also a great place to raise a family. Good schools, splash pads and concerts in the park are a few reasons St. Cloud is family friendly. St. Cloud also houses a large university and hospital as well as several private businesses. For work or pleasure there is a lot to do in St. Cloud!
