Only One Minnesota Town Ranked as Best for Family Living
Personally, I know of a few towns in Minnesota that are great for raising a family. I will admit that I do think that most of those towns are small. Like 10 thousand people or less. It's nice to live in an area where you know everyone. Or you know someone who knows someone.
One of the great things about living in a small town, is that everyone knows everyone. One of the bad things about living in a small town is that everyone knows everyone. Like everyone knows everyone elses business. But generally, because of that reason, if you need something there is generally someone there to help.
