I saw this report yesterday and there were a bunch of comments on social media wondering how in the world St. Cloud got on that list.  So I did some research of my own and found out a few things that are contributing to this ranking.  By the way- it's in the top 10 of best places to live in Minnesota.  This is according to Livability.com.

This is how St. Cloud gets that ranking.  Housing... totally affordable.  The median price for a home is in the 140K area.  Obviously then you can go up or down from there.  There are a boatload of parks.  95 to be exact.  That sounds crazy to me.  I knew there were a lot of them, but 95??  I need to get to more parks!  Also, the job market is great!  Very low unemployment rate.  So, hey, we have jobs here too!

Plus there are a ton of activities and night life as well as theater shows.  Paramount, anyone?

So, before you decide that you don't like St. Cloud, check out the reasons why it's great.  Maybe the answer is that you need to get out a bit more than you do.
