Apartment hunting in Rochester MN

Hello All!

I am moving to Rochester to work at the Mayo Clinic and I don't know anyone or anything. What are some go to neighborhoods or apartment buildings to look into? I am looking to go 1,400 max range, but of course the lower the better to help pay off student loans as well.

what do we think about the pines or boulder? or something else?

Since i don't know anyone, it would be nice to live somewhere with younger people in their late 20's 30's as well. I dont think I am interested in a roomate at this time but I would be open to it for the right match/ price. Thanks in advanced!

YSK: D.R. Horton builds terrible quality homes

City council approved a 175 acre annexation yesterday.

Yes we need housing, that’s affordable and safe.

But please do your due diligence before buying a DR Horton home. They may very well not last the expected lifespan or your hard earned money will go to repairing their shoddy non-local tradeswork.

We ought to be supporting local builders but alas, we’ve (council) has given in.

Internet provider advice

So I’m moving down to Rochester next month, and I was looking for advice on home internet.

Spectrum looks good but they will apparently jump up to $90 a month after a year for the same speed I’m paying $40 for now in the cities and that seems ridiculous to me.

Is T mobile home internet any good? Or what else do you guys use because I’m really not liking the fact I might have to shell out nearly $100 a month for 500mbps.

Is hathaway out of the wood chip business

I sent to get a quote from hathaway tree service for wood chips and I got this back

Are they out of the wood chip business.... We did get one chip drop but heard later in the year that wood chip drop doesn't work in Rochester cause it's just cheaper for them to drop off at hathaway.

"Unfortunately, we don’t have chips anymore. However, you may be interested in this site:  Free Wood Chip Mulch from ChipDrop

From what I’ve heard, you can sign up and various tree companies will bring you chips for free. You get free chips and they don’t have to pay to dispose of them. Check it out!”

Apartment/Townhome Hunting!

I know this gets asked a lot

I’ve been searching for a new place to live, I currently live in an apartment but id prefer to live in a townhome. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I’d appreciate advice or ideas on where to look, or any recommendations from people who live in one already. I’d prefer NOT to rent with Black Swan as I am currently, I’ve had no current issues with them, I think a better management company would be better in the long run though. My rent is about 1,400+ currently, I’m looking to stay under 1,800. I’ll also take apartment recommendations too!!

Please don't ignore the road closed signs near Marion Road

We have a farm that is in the impacted areas from the tornado yesterday and the county closed pretty much all roads on and around Marion Road and Highway 52. Please stop ignoring them.

I understand that everyone is curious, but we are trying to clean up all the debris. The amount of people that have driven through the road closed signs every 10 minutes is way more than I can count on one hand. Your need for pictures can wait.

MISSING PERSON - LAST SEEN 4/16/2026, SW ROCHESTER, MN

Yesterday my uncle Don Watson went missing, he was last seen at 11 am in Rochester, MN. Don often drives to Wisconsin and surrounding areas such as Lacrosse, Whitewater, and Elba Fire Tower and visits many parks and trails.

He Drives a Subaru 2017 Forester in dark grey with plate numbers JAH477 MN. We have already contacted Subaru and they were not able to track his car.

He has left his phone at home as well as any device that we could track and this situation is incredibly unlike him, so any information is greatly appreciated. The police have already been contacted and are notified of this case.

If you live near or around the area please share this post so we can reach as many people as we can.

Recommendations

Are there any places in the area that use bean sprouts for egg rolls instead of cabbage? I’m really craving egg rolls but don’t like the ones with cabbage however that’s the only kind I’ve found so far…
