Rochester Overview
The third largest city in all of Minnesota, apartments in Rochester have been rising in popularity for the better part of the last few decades. Located on the shores of the beautiful Silver Lake, this hub of industry and natural scenery is a fantastic place to hang your hat.
What is the history of Rochester?
Dating back to the mid 1800s, Rochester was primarily a stagecoach stop and supply region. A tornado disaster in 1883 fractured much of the town and led to the creation of the now-famous Mayo Clinic, which continues to service health care to thousands today. IBM and other industries settled in the vicinity throughout the 1900s as well, and today Rochester enjoys a steady job market thanks to a number of primary employers.
How is the weather in Rochester?
Like much of Minnesota, Rochester apartment denizens can expect fierce winters dominated by cold temperatures and heavy snow, thanks in no small part to the large amount of lakes that make their home in the area. Summers can be warm but are generally pleasant, hovering in the mid-80s on most days, and the spring and fall months can see significant rainfall.
How do I get around town?
First Transit acts as the main bus service in the city, and a growing number of taxi services and shuttle offerings can be found as well. The Rochester International Airport is the second largest of its kind in the state, and offers direct flights to an assortment of hot spot cities such as Chicago and Atlanta daily. Residents of Rochester apartments can enjoy a variety of covered walking tunnels and pathways leading directly to much of downtown, offering coverage from the sometimes nasty winter weather.
What is the Rochester commute like?
Interstate 90 and Highway 30 both cover the southern tier of the city, and U.S. 52, 63 and 14 all intersect the downtown area as well. Given the large size of the city, commuter traffic is surprisingly brisk moving, although unavoidable delays such as construction and weather hazards can appear. Many residents claim car ownership, however, and getting around Rochester is generally a breeze.
What are the local media outlets?
The 'Post-Bulletin' is the most popular daily newspaper in the city, and 'Rochester Magazine' offers monthly takes on nightlife and restaurants. KTTC and KXLT are both Rochester-centric broadcasting stations, and Charter Communications carries affiliates such as NBC into many Rochester apartment homes.
Why live in Rochester, MN?
Boasting a charmed quality of life and easy access to a growing and steady job market, apartments in Rochester are sure to fit the bill for many Minnesota residents. Offering all of the amenities of a large city (including numerous public parks and excellent schools), Rochester still manages to maintain a small town feel all its own.
What Rochester landmarks should I see?
The Avalon is a structure that played heavily in the regional civil rights movement, and the Chateau Theatre marks itself included in the National Register of Historic Places. Of course, the famed Mayo Clinic is a sight to behold, having serviced numerous former presidents and celebrities in their times of need.
What is there to do around Rochester?
Grab some friends and enjoy a night of classical performance by the Rochester Symphony Orchestra, or get your hike on with a visit to the Douglas State Trails. The Rochester Art Center is an ideal place to spend a rainy afternoon, and the eateries and pubs that line the First Avenue district get really popping on a given Saturday night.
Any annual festivals or Rochester events to know?
Thursdays on First are a monthly shindig complete with live music and food samplings, while the Bluff Country Studio Art Tour attracts fans from miles around. The annual Halloween Parade is quite the spooktacular event, and July 4th is equally explosive.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Grab a quick flight to Chicago for a weekend of big city excitement, or simply hop in the car and take a camping trip at one of the famed Minnesota state parks. Of course, lake fun is never far away either, from swimming and boating to water skiiing and beyond.
Where is the best place to move in Rochester?
Lauded by 'Money Magazine' as one of the 'best places to live', life in Rochester apartments is simply the cream of the crop. Whether you are in the market for a luxurious multi-bedroom unit close to downtown or simply looking for a smaller, economic family floorplan complete with onsite gym and reserved parking, odds are good that your ideal apartment in Rochester is out there waiting for you.
