Why Live in Granite Falls

Granite Falls, Minnesota, is a small city and the county seat of Yellow Medicine County, with fewer than 3,000 residents. Named after granite rock deposits and small waterfalls in the nearby Minnesota River, Granite Falls is known for its close-knit community and small-town feel, attracting former residents back from busier areas like the Twin Cities. The city features a quaint downtown area with essential shops, restaurants, and specialty stores, including Carl's Bakery and the Granite Falls Popcorn Stand. Outdoor recreation is abundant, with Rice Park and River's Edge Disc Golf Course offering scenic views along the Minnesota River, and the Kilowatt Community Center providing indoor sports facilities. Housing options include early-20th-century designs such as workers' cottages, Cape Cods, and bungalows, as well as larger ranch-style homes, Colonial Revivals, and split-levels. The city is bike-friendly, with wide roads and shaded sidewalks. Granite Falls hosts the annual Western Fest in June, featuring rodeos and family-friendly activities. Despite some flooding around the river, homes are situated outside flood plains. The Yellow Medicine East School District serves the area, with small class sizes and a shared campus for elementary, middle, and high schools. Granite Falls is located about 130 miles from Minneapolis, with local employment opportunities in healthcare, quarrying, and manufacturing industries. The city is safer than the national average, contributing to its appeal for families seeking a quieter lifestyle.
