Review of Rochester, Minnesota


Rochester, MN is a Midwest Gem
Star Rating - 4/23/2019
I lived in Rochester for over 2 decades. It's quite a gem in the Midwest. A metropolitan up and coming city. Home to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. It is easy to get around and extremely safe with one of the lowest crime rates in the country. It's also a great place to raise kids. Shopping and dining choices are abundant. I found the business community to be dynamic for people of all ages. Rochester is a great place for medical care. The Mayo Clinic performs miracles every day that don't happen anywhere else in the world. Cost of living is reasonable. Yes - winters can be rough (duh-it's in the Midwest) but there are festivals and activities that embrace the season like Social Ice. If you're not a winter person, like I'm not, the city is designed for indoor people. I used the skyway and subway systems for my winter walks. Summers in Rochester, MN are the best! Beauty abounds with abundant trees, parks and gardens. There's always something to do. Destination Medical Center is bringing a great deal of positive innovation-The downtown is going through a beautiful renovation and the plans are quite exciting with more green spaces and people-friendly areas. There are tons of biking and hiking trails! You can literally bike across the entire city because of the trail system. If you're looking for a smaller to midtown city, you should consider Rochester, MN
