If you\u2019re planning on moving to Minnesota, add these cities to your list.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Often called the Land of 10,000 lakes (there are actually <\/span>14,380 lakes total<\/span><\/a>), Minnesota is a vast, lush state full of prairies, forests, hills, and plenty of water. In fact, <\/span>6%<\/span><\/a> of Minnesota is covered by water, more than any other state. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated between Wisconsin and the Dakotas, Minnesota\u2019s <\/span>glacier-carved landscape<\/span><\/a> provides wonders at every turn, from large rivers and waterfalls to lakeside bluffs. The geography is perfect for a <\/span>wide variety of outdoor activities<\/span><\/a> year-round. Hiking, cycling, skiing, snowmobiling, and fishing are especially popular among locals. The terrain is also great for agriculture \u2013 the state is <\/span>among the top<\/span><\/a> crop and livestock producers in the country. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to its flat topography, Minnesota\u2019s climate is highly variable, <\/span>generally seeing<\/span><\/a> warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. However, the closer you get to Lake Superior, the <\/span>milder it generally gets<\/span><\/a>. In the winter, though, Lake Superior can <\/span>push temperatures down<\/span><\/a> along its coasts. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, which cities in the North Star State are the best? In this Redfin article, we\u2019ve uncovered the best places to live in Minnesota, ranking them on qualities such as affordability, navigability, and number of amenities. You can find more information about our methodology <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> or at the bottom of the article.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Minneapolis, MN<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Population:<\/b><\/td>425,115<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Sale Price:<\/b><\/td>$380,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Rent Price:<\/b><\/td>$1,500<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Average Commute Time:<\/b><\/td>22.5 minutes<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Unemployment Rate:<\/b><\/td>3.9%<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Minneapolis tops our list as the best place to live in Minnesota. Relatively <\/span>affordable housing costs<\/span><\/a>, easy access to natural recreation, and ample amenities helped the city earn top marks. People have taken advantage of this, too, with its population <\/span>enjoying steady growth<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Situated along the Mississippi River, Minneapolis is often called the \u201cTwin Cities\u201d with neighboring Saint Paul. The area was historically home to the <\/span>Dakota and Ojibwe peoples<\/span><\/a>, and today is known for its natural beauty, industrial history, and culinary delights. <\/span>55 museums<\/span><\/a>, dozens of large parks, and <\/span>multiple colleges<\/span><\/a> dot the landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Minneapolis\u2019 navigability may be its best quality. It\u2019s the <\/span>most bikeable city<\/span><\/a> in the country, and has a <\/span>robust public transportation<\/span><\/a> network. Much of the city\u2019s navigability can be attributed to its flat terrain and <\/span>interconnected parks and trails<\/span><\/a>. There are also <\/span>16 miles<\/span><\/a> of protected bikeways and greenways, the most famous of which is along the Great River Road and over the historic <\/span>Stone Arch Bridge<\/span><\/a>. The iconic <\/span>Skyway system<\/span><\/a> even allows for walkability during the cold winter months. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Parks and natural beauty are another huge boon \u2013 the city was designed with them in mind. Today, this means no matter where you live in Minneapolis, you\u2019re never <\/span>six blocks<\/span><\/a> from open green space. Most of the Mississippi River is flanked by connected greenways and parks, too. <\/span>Saint Anthony Falls<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Minnehaha Falls<\/span><\/a> are among the most popular spots.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Saint Paul, MN<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Population:<\/b><\/td>303,820<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Sale Price:<\/b><\/td>$295,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Rent Price:<\/b><\/td>$1,500<\/span><\/td><\/tr>

    Unemployment Rate:<\/b><\/td>3.5%<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The capital of Minnesota, Saint Paul takes the second spot on our list. The slower-paced twin city is located just east of Minneapolis and has a <\/span>colonial history<\/span><\/a> dating back to 1858 \u2013 further if you count <\/span>French settlements<\/span><\/a>. This history is reflected in its streets, buildings, and parks, especially <\/span>Summit Avenue<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>Cathedral of Saint Paul<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Rice Park<\/span><\/a>, which is older than Central Park. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Along with a rich history, <\/span>St. Paul also boasts<\/span><\/a> a more affordable <\/span>cost of living<\/span><\/a> than Minneapolis: <\/span>House prices<\/span><\/a> are $85,000 lower, while rent prices are equal. And you don\u2019t have to give up access to amenities, downtown hotspots, or quiet, residential neighborhoods, either. <\/span>Como Park<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Saint Anthony Park<\/span><\/a> are two popular neighborhoods in northwest St. Paul with easy access to transit and trails.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Similar to Minneapolis, St. Paul is chock full of pedestrian paths, parks, and riverfront views. In fact, St. Paul has an even longer Mississippi Riverfront than its twin, <\/span>coming in at 26 miles<\/span><\/a>. Most of that is lined with greenways and parks, with Harriet Island, Crosby Farm, and Lilydale Regional Parks among the highlights. <\/span>Historic Fort Snelling<\/span><\/a> is just across the river, too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Commuting into Minneapolis is easy via the Green Line, or by bike along one of dozens of trails. Driving may take a bit during rush hour, though. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Duluth, MN<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Population:<\/b><\/td>87,680<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Sale Price:<\/b><\/td>$310,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr>

    Among the <\/span>coldest<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>snowiest<\/span><\/a> cities in the country, Duluth comes in as the third-best place to live in Minnesota. <\/span>Known for<\/span><\/a> its industry and natural beauty, there\u2019s a lot to love about the city. A very affordable cost of living, thriving economy, and plethora of amenities helped give Duluth high marks. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Duluth\u2019s identity has long been intertwined with the region\u2019s abundant natural resources. <\/span>Logging<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>farming<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>mining<\/span><\/a> have all shaped the area\u2019s landscape and economy, and Duluth\u2019s shipping port on Lake Superior gave it access to both the <\/span>Atlantic and Pacific Oceans<\/span><\/a>. This abundance helped the city become <\/span>among the richest in the world<\/span><\/a> at the turn of the 20th century. G<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Giant lake-bound cargo ships known as <\/span>Lakers<\/span><\/a> are still a regular sight in the city. Make sure to catch them passing under the <\/span>Aerial Lift Bridge<\/span><\/a>. Some other highlights of the city include visiting the Duluth Farmers Market and the city\u2019s historic downtown, grabbing a bite to eat in the <\/span>Canal Park District<\/span><\/a>, and shopping at <\/span>Lincoln Park<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Duluth has actually been <\/span>seeing a renaissance lately<\/span><\/a>, as people consider moving to the <\/span>Great Lakes and Rust Belt<\/span><\/a> regions to escape the worst of climate change. Duluth in particular is often called a <\/span>climate haven<\/span><\/a> due to clean air and cooling winds from Lake Superior, reducing the risk of <\/span>wildfires<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>extreme heat<\/span><\/a>. Minnesota is also <\/span>generally water-secure<\/span><\/a> and has little possibility of earthquakes. However, while <\/span>these factors can help<\/span><\/a> protect against factors like drought and infrastructure damage, <\/span>nowhere is immune<\/span><\/a> from climate risks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"richfield-mn\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Richfield, MN<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Population:<\/b><\/td>36,445<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Sale Price:<\/b><\/td>$371,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Rent Price:<\/b><\/td>$1,295<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Average Commute Time:<\/b><\/td>23.2 minutes<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Unemployment Rate:<\/b><\/td>3.6%<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    A <\/span>suburb of Minneapolis<\/span><\/a> just south of the city. Richfield has <\/span>strong agricultural roots<\/span><\/a> and grew quickly as Minneapolis expanded post-WWII. As such, many homes in the area were built in the 1950s. Today, Richfield is a quiet haven in the center of a metropolis known for its great location, small-town charm, and local amenities. The city\u2019s cost of living is comparable to Minneapolis but more expensive than places like Saint Paul and Crystal. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Richfield is conveniently located next to the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport and the <\/span>Mall of America\u00ae<\/span><\/a>, but there\u2019s plenty more to see as well. For example, Southdale Center and Southtown are popular hotspots full of restaurants and shopping, while the Richfield Ice Arena is great for hockey practice. Tous Les Jours and Andale Taqueria are two great restaurants in the area. And if you\u2019re on the job hunt, Best Buy\u2019s global headquarters are in the center of town. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Importantly, plane noises are pretty constant during the day throughout the city. Insulating your home and <\/span>adding soundproofing<\/span><\/a> may help reduce the annoyance. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unsurprisingly, parks are abundant, too. Some of the most beloved spots in the area include Fort Snelling State Park, Mound Springs Park, and Wood Lake. Plus, you\u2019re not far from the renowned <\/span>Chain of Lakes Regional Park<\/span><\/a> and its 16 miles of pedestrian and bike trails. As with all Twin Cities suburbs, cycling is a breeze both into downtown and all throughout the region. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"moorhead-mn\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Moorhead, MN<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Population:<\/b><\/td>45,202<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Sale Price:<\/b><\/td>$247,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Rent Price:<\/b><\/td>$1,090<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Average Commute Time:<\/b><\/td>17.2 minutes<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Unemployment Rate:<\/b><\/td>2.7%<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Located on the border of North Dakota in northwest Minnesota, Moorhead comes in at number five on our list. A town <\/span>rooted in agriculture<\/span><\/a>, Moorhead is known for its small-town feel, suburban homes, and quiet residential streets. Moorhead can be great for those seeking an affordable place to live next to a larger city \u2013 it\u2019s within the <\/span>Fargo, ND<\/span><\/a> metropolitan area. Minnesota State University also has a campus in the city, providing a youthful, college-town vibe. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Amenities in Moorhead are fairly limited, but there are still plenty of spots to get together with friends. For example, numerous parks and greenways are situated along the winding Red River, including Gooseberry Mound Park, Lindenwood Park, and the <\/span>River Corridor trails<\/span><\/a>. And just across the river in Fargo are plenty of bars and restaurants, like Bismarck Tavern, Rick\u2019s Bar, and Sidestreet Grille & Pub.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Importantly, Moorhead is situated in the ancient Red River Valley, which is the <\/span>flattest, driest region<\/span><\/a> in Minnesota. As such, it\u2019s also more prone to <\/span>wildfires<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>flooding<\/span><\/a>. It’s hard to beat the wide open prairie views and lush riverbanks, though. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Due to the region\u2019s flat terrain, weather conditions can change rapidly. Thunderstorms are common in the summer, while snow storms can occur in the winter. Freezing air from Canada can also make winters exceptionally cold. If you\u2019re planning on moving to the area, be prepared for all four seasons, and get your snow tires ready. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. Roseville, MN<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Population:<\/b><\/td>35,451<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Sale Price:<\/b><\/td>$378,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Rent Price:<\/b><\/td>$1,310<\/span><\/td><\/tr>

    Unemployment Rate:<\/b><\/td>2.6%<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Just north of Minneapolis, Roseville is a historic city full of greenery and community spirit. Similar to most Twin Cities suburbs, Roseville grew quickly following WWII and today is known for its navigability and large parks. Living in Roseville means you\u2019re close to everything, but far enough away to enjoy your quiet neighborhood. <\/span>Rosedale Center<\/span><\/a> is the heart of the town and has everything you need.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, options for nightlife, visiting locally-owned shops, or hanging with a friend at a coffee shop or bar are limited; most stores and restaurants are chains. There are still highlights, though. Source Comics & Games and Gamezenter provide fun tabletop gaming events for people of all ages, while Hoggsbreath and Lisbeth\u2019s Cafe & Restaurant serve hearty and international cuisine. Most people still head into Minneapolis or St. Paul for a fun day out, though. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With nearly <\/span>700 acres<\/span><\/a> of parks and <\/span>37.6 miles<\/span><\/a> of cycling and running trails, it\u2019s fun to get around without a car in Roseville. Even so, public transportation into the Twin Cities is limited, and <\/span>most residents<\/span><\/a> own cars. Some of the most popular parks in the city include Central Park, the Harriet Alexander Nature Center, and Reservoir Woods Park. The Muriel Sahlin Arboretum across from the nature center is a great place to relax, too. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Median Sale Price:<\/b><\/td>$285,000<\/span><\/td><\/tr>
    Median Rent Price:<\/b><\/td>$880<\/span><\/td><\/tr>

    Unemployment Rate:<\/b><\/td>5.2%<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The hub of central Minnesota, Saint Cloud is a small college town known for its granite quarries, <\/span>historic downtown<\/span><\/a>, and verdant parks. Natural beauty is one of the major selling points in the city, as well as St. Cloud University. The city sits on the Mississippi and is surrounded by flat open plains, groves of trees, and wooded streams. Amazing affordability and a <\/span>growing economy<\/span><\/a> are other major pluses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For a small college city, there\u2019s plenty to do in town. The many blocks that make up <\/span>Downtown St. Cloud<\/span><\/a> contain more than 45 restaurants, including the Olde Brick House and Jules\u2019 Bistro, along with more than 60 shops, like Fitzharris and Books Revisited. And in the century-old Jones & Long Facades building, Granite City Comics and Games makes for a fun night out. If you need more options, you\u2019re just over an hour from the Twin Cities. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Parks and green spaces are everywhere, too. The most famous ones are Munsinger Gardens and Heritage Park, which are great for picnics and leisurely strolls. However, winters can be quite cold, making it difficult to experience the outdoors for a few months a year. Luckily, the city takes advantage of these colder months by turning some public spades into ice skating rinks. <\/span>Lake George<\/span><\/a> is the most well known, but <\/span>ten other parks<\/span><\/a> do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unemployment Rate:<\/b><\/td>1.8%<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Just west of Minneapolis, Saint Louis Park is the eighth city on our list of the best places to live in Minnesota. St. Louis Park is full of personality, <\/span>public art<\/span><\/a>, and quiet residential streets. It also manages to be more affordable than surrounding suburbs without sacrificing convenience or amenities. Highway 100 runs right to nearby suburbs, and Interstate 394 to the north goes to downtown Minneapolis. Wide trails and large open spaces crisscross the city, too. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remarkably, <\/span>11.5% of St. Louis Park<\/span><\/a> is devoted to parks and trails, with 52 total parks in just the city proper. The Westwood Hills Nature Center and Meadowbrook Park are the largest parks, while Bass Lake has a short trail meandering through prairies and savannah. And longer trails like the Cedar Lake Regional Trail allow you to bike to nearby Hopkins or Downtown Minneapolis without too much trouble. <\/span>Many events<\/span><\/a> are held at city parks, too. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    St. Louis Park doesn\u2019t have a proper downtown, but <\/span>The Shops at West End<\/span><\/a> have nearly everything you\u2019ll need. Costco, Home Depot, business offices, and more are all there. Local restaurants in town include Brito\u2019s Burritos and Ariana Kabob & Gyro. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unemployment Rate:<\/b><\/td>1.5%<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    An upscale Twin Cities suburb, Golden Valley is ninth on our list. Huge parks, open streets, and pleasant, green forests adorn the city\u2019s layout. Remarkable convenience is a selling point as well, with easy access to downtown Minneapolis and everything else you need. However, the cost of living is higher than most surrounding cities, which is why it\u2019s lower on the list. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lat14 Asian Eatery and Nong\u2019s Thai are beloved restaurants in the area, with many more a short drive away. Most restaurants are located in strip malls, but don\u2019t let that take away from their delicious menus. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Parks make up <\/span>more than 15%<\/span><\/a> of the city\u2019s footprint, totaling over 1,000 acres for you to explore. <\/span>Theodore Wirth Park<\/span><\/a>, the Brookview Park and Community Center, and General Mills Nature Preserve are great places to explore. Of course, there are also dozens of lakes to marvel at anywhere you turn.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Like most other cities in the area, walking and biking trails are abundant. The <\/span>Luce Line Trail<\/span><\/a> is 63 miles long and stretches from <\/span>Cosmos, MN<\/span><\/a> through Golden Valley along a former railroad track. The Great Northern Greenway and Crystal Lake Regional Trail are other great (but shorter) trails. Many paths allow horses, and you can even ride a snowmobile on portions of trail further outside the metropolitan area.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Crystal, located just north of Golden Valley, rounds out our list of the best places to live in Minnesota. Adjacent to New Home and Robbinsdale, Crystal is known for its quiet suburban streets, convenient shops, and fairly affordable homes. Plenty of recreational amenities, like the <\/span>Crystal Cove Aquatic Center<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Crystal Community Center<\/span><\/a> (CCC), also dot the gridded streets. The city doesn\u2019t have a main throughway, but the <\/span>redeveloped Crystal Shopping Center<\/span><\/a> functions as the center of town. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Commuting into the Twin Cities will likely take a while, unfortunately; public transportation is limited and only one highway services the area. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On the plus side, parks are everywhere in Crystal. Bassett Creek Park and Crystal Mac Wildlife Area are great spots to hang with friends. Further out, Eagle Lake, Clifton E. French, and Fish Lake Regional Parks are perfect for all your outdoor recreation needs, with options for fishing, boating, and much more. <\/span>Elm Creek Park Preserve<\/span><\/a> and literally hundreds more parks are within an hour of the city, too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Restaurant selections are a bit limited in the area, and most are chains. However, Milton\u2019s and Big Louie\u2019s Bar and Grill are locally-owned hotspots with good, hearty food. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Methodology<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Redfin\u2019s Best Places to Live rankings are meant to help home searchers make an informed decision when choosing where to live. To attempt to measure the overall quality of a metro area, each ranking takes into account several key factors, including access to healthcare, open outdoor space, navigability, housing trends, employment statistics, income, and travel time to work. Only metros with a population of 20,000 or greater were considered for our Minnesota list. <\/span>More information about our methodology can be found <\/b>here<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
