Monticello

Welcome to Monticello

The city of Monticello is conveniently located between Minneapolis and St. Cloud along the Mississippi River. There is always something to do in town, and the residents flock to the river almost as much as the graceful trumpeter swans. Getting outdoors is an essential part of daily life in Monticello because there are so many parks, rivers and ponds to take advantage of. Monticello has an extensive park and pathway system with a total of 28 parks and miles of well-maintained trails. Residents of the town spend the year looking forward to Riverfest in July, a celebration full of music, car shows, contests, and all-around fun for all. This is the town’s biggest get-together and the social event of the year no one wants to miss. Monticello is the perfect middle ground between big city life and small town living. Conveniently located along interstate 94, you’re a straight shot to Minneapolis for those days when you feel like venturing into the city for shopping, to catch a concert or game, or for a night on the town. When you crave some peace and quiet, Monticello is far enough from the city for life to slow down a bit. The community isn’t tiny, but it is tight-knit, and residents look out for each other. When you live in Monticello, you can’t wait to come home. It’s also easy to find a home you love in Monticello because prices are lower than in the Twin Cities metro while still being near big city amenities. If you don’t want to deal with the traffic of the metro area, Monticello also has plenty of businesses within its borders worth checking out. Charming houses line quaint streets here.
