Although it’s a very rural area, the public school system run by the Rockford Area School District is above-average for renters who have families.

These are typical brick rental apartment buildings that are three or four stories tall with amenities like fitness centers, pools and grilling stations. For renters who work in the downtown area of Minneapolis, but want a quiet and rural lifestyle, Greenfield or the small communities surrounding it are the way to go.
