Do you crave the activity you can find living in a bigger suburb? Then you should consider Bloomington MN real estate. Bloomington is Minnesota's fourth-largest city, quite a distinction for a community that lies just 10 miles south of Minneapolis.

In some ways, Bloomington is independent of its larger siblings -- Minneapolis and Saint Paul -- but it benefits in numerous ways from association with the business, artistic, university and government vibes of the Twin Cities.

And, this city of almost 85,000 has even more jobs per capita to offer you than either of its neighbors!

You’ll find no shortage of economic opportunity in Bloomington. Founded as a bedroom community just after World War II, the city is now home to the world's largest indoor shopping venue, the Mall of the Americas, and also serves as corporate headquarters or operations center for a spate of successful companies.

Its topography was well-suited for the kind of reasonably-priced, low-density housing that characterized its growth during the two decades following World War II, and spurred its later growth and development as well.

Today, even though the cost of living index places it 6.3% higher than the rest of the state, and 9.1% higher than the national average, Bloomington is appealing because of its relatively low crime rate, highly-rated schools and abundant amenities.

Single-family homes, townhomes and condo units, as well as rental apartments, are readily available in a range of styles and prices to fit your needs and desires. Come check them out!
