Where Every Day Can Feel Like a Getaway.

In Alexandria, you don’t have to choose between work and play—you can live, work, and unwind in the same beautiful place.

Endless Ways to Explore, Relax, and Connect

With more than 350 lakes, Alexandria is a destination that locals proudly call home. Spend your summers boating, fishing, and swimming, then trade your paddle for skis or skates when winter arrives. Our historic downtown is alive with boutiques, local dining, breweries, and live music, while miles of parks and trails keep the adventure going year-round. With the Twin Cities just two hours away, you’ll find it easy to get here but hard to ever leave.
