The Northland


Quality of Life

Residents of the Northland enjoy an unsurpassed quality of life.

The region is home to spectacular scenery and outdoor adventures for every season. Voyageur's National Park, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Superior National Forest and Lake Superior are just a few of its natural treasures.

For those with more refined tastes, it offers championship golf, world-class skiing, art galleries and museums, and a full slate of entertainment that includes a symphony orchestra and nationally acclaimed ballet troupe. And then there's hockey!

Safe neighborhoods, quality schools, affordable housing, progressive health care, an active citizenry and minimal traffic congestion enhance the experience. You'll love living where others come to vacation.
