About Our Community

While you’re visiting, we encourage you to get to know this amazing part of Minnesota. Alexandria has been named one of the Top 100 Small Towns in the Country by livability.com, and for good reason. You’ll find year-round recreation for the whole family and a thriving regional population of close to 100,000 people and over 1,000 growing businesses.

With a special blend of traditional values and progressive thinking, Alexandria is a great place for those who crave the pace of a small town but enjoy the recreational, artistic, cultural, and educational opportunities of a larger community. Around here, no matter where you are, you’re never far from the serene splendor of one of our beautiful lakes.

We’re located two hours west of the Twin Cities on I-94 in the heart of lake country. We like to say that we’re easy to get to and hard to leave.
