Twin Cities
Feel the Pulse of the Twin Cities.
Minneapolis–St. Paul is a vibrant hub of creativity and activity. The arts are a particular draw to this region with the internationally acclaimed Walker Art Center and Guthrie Theater—as well as hundreds of other cultural and entertainment venues. Whether you crave visual arts, theater, dance, opera, music, or the many collegiate and professional sporting events, you’re in for an experience.
Economic Growth
We’re a thriving business community—only NYC, LA, and Houston are home to more Fortune 500 companies. With leading medical, retail, technology, food, and advertising companies, the Twin Cities attracts talented people from around the world.
Healthy Living
Perhaps most unique is an unmatched park system that connects lakes, creeks, and rivers with miles and miles of biking and running paths. Bicycling magazine voted us first in the nation for bicycle friendliness. And our focus on local and sustainable foods puts us just behind San Francisco in the organic co-op movement. Overall, the quality of living is truly noteworthy.
