What it’s like

The place. Albertville is a small city in Wright County, Minnesota, with a population that has grown past what a town this size once held. Residents are somewhat younger than in much of the country, and incomes run well above the county's, with very few people living below the poverty line. Nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, and a four-year degree is common among adults. Winters are cold, well below freezing through January, and a good deal of snow falls over the year. Summers are warm, with July the hottest month.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in banks, insurance and property, and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in Albertville are St. Michael-Albertville Schools, Coborn's and Fehn Companies. Commutes are fairly long, and a fair number of residents work from home. Unemployment across Wright County is a little higher than a year ago, while the number of jobs in the county has edged up.

Things to do. For time outdoors, Beebe Lake and the St. Francis River are both a short drive away. Lake Minnetonka is a longer drive, as is the Walker Art Center, a museum in Minneapolis. Anyone willing to make that trip can also take in Saint Anthony Falls, one of the best known sights on the Mississippi.
