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.

- A breathtaking location with some of the area's most magnificent natural sights.

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.

Autumn at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge
Homes in Bloomington are turning heads this year as our agents have been getting plenty of calls showing interest in this beautiful community.
Fall in Minnesota is a breathtaking experience that you won't want to miss.
Locals are particularly lucky to be just down the road from one of the best. It's the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, and you'll enjoy every minute of it.
The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge is Where You See Autumn in Action
Autumn foliage is one of the most beautiful things about the changing of the seasons, and it's even better if you can watch it happen in all its magnificent splendor – out in the beauty of nature.
With almost 14,000 total acres of floodplain forest, wetlands, and prairie featuring iconic tall grass, the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge offers self-guided tours around some of the most amazing natural wonders found in Minnesota.
The most common way to experience it, however, is by ambling around the dozens of hiking trails. They are among the most popular for both hikers and trail runners state-wide, attracting a bevy of visitors each year since the land opened to the public in 1976.
