Rockford, Minnesota is located in both Hennepin County and Wright County, with the Crow River serving as the dividing line between the two.

Here’s what to know, whether you’re selling, buying or just curious.

Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.

Ready to make a move?I’ll show you what homes nearby are really selling for and which streets fit your budget.

What to know

Any residents living east of the river are a part of Hennepin County whereas those living to the west, which is the majority of the city, are members of Wright County. Combining communities from these two counties, Rockford is a city that offers both residential and commercial developments. While 30 miles away from Minneapolis, the residents of Rockford features a number of local businesses that employ over 1,000 individuals.

The city has a population of close to 4,400 residents and a land area of 2.6 square miles. Minnesota State Highway 55 is as a main route in the city, as it connects with U.S. Highway 169 to the southeast. Rockford is adjacent to the cities of Greenfield, Delano, Independence, and Loretto, and residents utilize the amenities found within these cities. Additionally, the city is within commuting distance from larger suburban employment cities such as Maple Grove and Plymouth. Finally, as mentioned earlier, Rockford is about 30 miles from Minneapolis, meaning that residents are close enough to the big-city to experience its amenities, but still far enough away to enjoy a quieter, more secluded lifestyle.
