Alexandria is a City of Beautiful Lakes 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I've been living in Alexandra for two years and have enjoyed the beautiful lakes and natural scenery of this small town. Alexandra has beautiful communities with very friendly people and my family have has enjoyed the relationships we have developed with our neighbors. Alexandra ...Read More is a very safe town with little crime and the diverse communities here truly look out for one another.


The best areas in Alexandria are near Noonan Park and also around various trails near Lake Victoria. The school system in Alexandria is excellent and my kids enjoy the small classroom sizes and the experiences they have had with their friendly classmates. There are lots of shops and unique small businesses that offer all kinds of unique shopping experiences within Alexandria that provides everything you need or want to enjoy complete shopping experiences. If you're looking to relocate to Minnesota, I recommend Alexandria of as one of the places to consider to enjoy a small town atmosphere and safe place to raise your kids. Read Less
