Morris, MN Homes for Rent

The city of Morris is the county seat of Stevens County. “It’s the biggest small city around,” says Mitchell Rohloff, a Realtor with Pomme de Terre Realty, LLC, who was born and raised in Morris. “We have lots of employers. There are several manufacturers and a dairy, and the university also brings many people to the area.” In recent years, Morris has also become a model for sustainable energy programs. The city has already installed solar panels on some government buildings, and the University of Minnesota Morris uses wind turbines and biomass to produce electricity and heat. By 2030, Morris aims to have renewable energy sources for 80% of its power needs. The center of the city is laid out in a grid, with sidewalks in front of most houses and alleys behind. Newer developments have a more suburban layout, with curving streets, cul-de-sacs and private driveways. There are a few remaining Victorian-era residences and some post-2000 builds, but cottages and ranch-style homes from the mid-to-late 1900s are the most prevalent. “We are short on inventory with all the businesses around,” Rohloff says. “There isn’t a lot of new construction either.” Single-family prices tend to fall
