Twin Cities, Minnesota

When it comes to places where you want to retire, the state of Minnesota has cities to suggest. The first one, which technically comprises two, is the Twin Cities, the adjoining towns of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The combined population of these highly urbanized cities is 716,000. The former is significantly younger with contemporary skyscrapers in comparison to other huge cities. On the other hand, the latter has the resemblance to a European city with an old-fashioned neighborhood and an impressive collection of well-conserved late-Victorian architecture or a city on the East Coast. The average price of homes here is $236,000, so better prepare that mortgage loan you’ve been itching to apply for.

Shop at Grand Avenue, explore the Minnehaha Falls Park, and Fitzgerald Theater are some of the best places to visit around the area. Of course, we will not forget about the Mall of America, which caters to over 40 million visitors each year.
