Review of Rochester, Minnesota


Bad neighbors
Star Rating - 4/30/2009
Have lived here most of my life, however in the last 10-20 years the nice neighborhoods within 5 miles of town have become filled with undesirable people buying these more affordable homes, bringing in low moral values and loud party/motorcycle/monster truck type younger people. To get away from this you have to be able to afford a very expensive home in the very outskirts of town and pay very high taxes, over and above the already high taxes we pay in MN. I don't recommend living here unless you work at Mayo as a doctor or nurse and can afford the nicer neighborhoods and don't want to bike to work. Biking and walking are not easy in this city, either. Not to mention the frigid temps from October through April, and very high humidity from May to September!
