Best Town in Minnesota - Bemidji
Counselor Realty agents have been truly excited by all the great homes in Bemidji that are on the market this fall. If you've been waiting for the right moment to get started on your house hunt, now is the time to visit beautiful Bemidji – which some call the best town in Minnesota.
Is Bemidji the Best Town in Minnesota? Minnesota Monthly Says the Answer is Yes!
When you think of the "best towns in America," what comes to mind? If you looked at the best towns in every state, you'd probably see that they have a lot in common: A friendly and welcoming atmosphere, great amenities, and plenty to see and do.
When it comes to the best Minnesota town of 2017, Bemidji was the winner. Bemidji has all kinds of things to offer its locals and prospective residents:
- A breathtaking location with some of the area's most magnificent natural sights.
- A charming downtown area home to many vibrant, locally-owned businesses.
- A rich sense of history that's truly unique to Bemidji, the home of Paul Bunyan.
As in every year, the 2017 selection was made by Minnesota Monthly readers. People love their community here in Bemidji, and that's no surprise: With a population around 14,500, it has its own small town appeal while still serving as a major commercial hub.
If sprawling Duluth isn't your speed, then Bemidji – Called The First City on the Mississippi – may well turn out to be your game. Founded in 1896, it is the oldest township in Beltrami County. Although it's convenient to great employers and education, it's also so much more!
If you're looking to advance your education, Bemidji State University is a leading option.
Around here, you'll find fascinating community perks such as The Paul Bunyan Playhouse, the longest-running summer stock theater in the state of Minnesota. There's also the Chief Theatre, a historic venue that takes over from good old Paul for the rest of the year.
A sense of togetherness is something you'll notice when you amble around the beautiful and modern downtown. Bemidji epitomizes "Minnesota Nice." The people are excited to see new faces, being so used to visitors from the Twin Cities coming through Bemidji Regional Airport each weekend.
Boating is popular in the summer and skiing is a blast in the winter, with Minnesota's second-oldest ski hill ready for a fun time just a short drive from the town center. Bemidji is also known for shopping and dining, with a variety of pubs and some legendary local breweries nearby.
Bemidji Brewery is one of the iconic staples of the local craft beer industry.
Last, but far from least, you're sure to spot signs of the area's biggest and most famous resident. Whether you're passing by or settling to stay, you won't want to miss the Paul Bunyan statue!
