Bemidji, MN: Small town friendliness with big city advantages!

If you've heard the phrase, "Minnesota nice", you'll understand what it means when you meet the people here in Bemidji. All that fresh air and year-round outdoor fun keeps us energized and happy, I guess! The BSU (Bemidji State University) "BEAVERS" are not the only ones who stay active. The pint-sized hockey players in town are always hard to beat. Even the seniors (senior citizens, that is) do their part to maintain Bemidji's title as The Curling Capitol of the World. For the uninitiated, "curling" is a sport that involves tea kettles, brooms, and an ice rink - I'll let your imagination run with that one!

We all share the wonderful North Woods with a great system of public snowmobile trails and paved bike paths, extending far from Bemidji. Bird-watching and hiking paths give you a chance to enjoy nature and its woodland creatures, up-close.

Now, for the best feature of all: Bemidji, the First City on the Mississippi, has more than 400 LAKES in a 25 mile radius!

If you're finding that lakeshore property is getting scarce and very EXPENSIVE further south, you might want to consider building or buying a LAKE HOME in the Bemidji area. We still have undeveloped lakeshore, even on some of the large recreational lakes. Or, you can actually enjoy your own private environmental lake where yours is the only house around! Or, you can live on a beautiful stretch of the Mississippi River! The choices are endless, and the fishing is great!! By the way, you haven't lived until you've tried ice-fishing. Yes, people really do put little houses on the frozen lakes and drive their vehicles out on the ice!

This area is also a hunter's paradise: Imagine owning your own 80 acre parcel (often for $120,000 or less) with a cabin - we call them "hunting shacks" - for you and your family or friends to enjoy! We also have thousands of wooded acres for public use, too.

If you've always wanted a hobby farm, we have those, too - all set up for horses or livestock, chickens, etc.
************************************************************************
BUT...Bemidji has a sophisticated professional community, as well.
The EXECUTIVE HOMES on several private acres rival anything you'll see in metropolitan areas. Bemidji has numerous subdivisions, with each home usually centered on two or three acres of land.
