Enjoying the varied entertainment in the Alexandria community means having the ability to make an impression. Beyond the 300 lakes, numerous beaches, golf courses, and trails, Alexandria residents make the area uniquely their own with the places and events they create together, like being home to Minnesota’s best winery, as well as the Red Willow Arts Concerts, The Shoreline Artist Gallery, and a myriad of locally owned restaurants and shops.

“Why would I go anywhere else?”
“Why would I go somewhere else and set things up when I’m five minutes away from four golf courses, I’m ten seconds away from a lake, and my hunting land is half an hour away? I mean, it’s just everything I want. It’s really amazing what you can do here.”
