I'm from Minnesota. I'm optimistic. I mean, that's just who I am." --Thomas Friedman

This beautiful town is located between St. Cloud and Minneapolis, so you have the benefits of great facilities nearby and a small-city atmosphere and community. You'll enjoy the parks and walking trails here, as well as some excellent community spirit from the neighbors.
