Minneapolis is known as “the City by Nature” and there’s a great reason for that. Minneapolis offers breathtaking natural beauty through its extensive park system. It’s also balanced by the hustle and bustle of big-city living, so no matter what kind of experience you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it here when you retire in Minneapolis, MN as a member of Upside.
Similarly, Rochester Minnesota has an awesome park system. From Silver Lake Park and Indian Heights Park to Essex Park and beyond, there’s always a new trail to discover. Speaking of discoveries, the thriving arts and culture scene gives residents and visitors alike something new to take in, whether that’s an art exhibit, museum, or performance at the Mayo Civic Center.
Locals agree Fargo is somewhere “north of normal.” And they’re proud of it. For some, that makes retiring in this Minnesota city instantly intriguing. Among the less normal things you can experience in Fargo, MN are: Sipping a cold beverage in an igloo atop a rooftop bar in the dead of winter. Finding a herd of painted buffalo scattered throughout the city. The unexpectedly huge skateboarding scene. A 15-foot Dilly Bar statue at a Dairy Queen in Moorhead. And, yeah. North of normal is about right.
Retiring in Minnesota as an Upside member puts you in the middle of great cities like these where you’re free to explore and live life on your own terms. No hidden fees. No surprises. Just flexible living options in charming cities. See? We told you this wasn’t a normal 55+ community in Minnesota!
