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.
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:
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.

Lake Bemidji is one of the best fishing destinations around – here in its native Northern Minnesota or anywhere else you care to name. Homes in Bemidji are just minutes from this natural wonder. Counselor Realty agents have helped out many experienced anglers moving to the area!
Of course, there's always room for more. Could you be next?

Bemidji, Minnesota has been around since 1896. Yet, despite its rich history, it remains one of the best-kept secrets in the state. Spread gently across 16 square miles at a head-turning elevation of more than 1,300 feet, it is a crossroads for those heading between Duluth and Grand Forks, North Dakota.
Home to about 15,000 residents, Bemidji lies on the shore of a gorgeous lake of the same name. Lake Bemidji is the northernmost feeder of the Mississippi River – and so, it has a claim to fame as the "First City on the Mississippi." It's considered the Curling Capital of the United States.
It also happens to be a college town well known for the arts and a culture of language learning backed by unique Concordia College programs and local meetup groups.
With all the warm and welcoming people in Bemidji, you might overlook its most famous resident …(Though, you can't miss him if you just remember to look up!) Bemidji is the proud birthplace of one of America's greatest tall tales: The story of Paul Bunyan.
