Stewartville offers peaceful suburban living in the Rochester metro area
Stewartville is a small town 10 miles outside of Rochester with a population of around 7,000. Once a prairie village in the 1850s, the community eventually became a farming, railroad and industrial town. Today, Stewartville has a well-respected public school system, many recreational opportunities and convenient access to highways. “We are a quiet, but well rounded little community near a big metro area, so we have lots of exchange with Rochester,” says Bill Schimmel, Stewartville's city administrator. “We have a fair mix of residential, commercial and industrial development areas, and we have jobs to offer and different housing options for livability.”
City Hall is found right near the heart of Stewartville.
State Route 30 is just off of Main Street and takes Stewartville residents east towards Wisconsin.
