About Rochester

Copyright Dean Riggott Photography

Rochester is many things—the county seat of Olmsted county, the third-largest city in Minnesota, the birthplace of Mayo Clinic, and a thriving community for entrepreneurs. Beginning in the 1980s, Rochester has been frequently recognized by Money Magazine as one of the best places to live in the United States. Rochester is a great place to call home.

The city of Rochester lies alongside the south fork of the Zumbro River, tucked into a valley. There are over 3,500 acres of parks, 85 miles of paved trails, and nature preserves for enjoying the outdoors. The downtown area has undergone and residential renovation in the last few years making a once undesirable area the up-and-coming place to live.
