Richfield
Richfield, Minnesota is located directly south of Minneapolis, and is quickly becoming an extremely popular area to live. Its easy access to such major attractions such as the Mall of America and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, as well as its short ten-minute drive to downtown Minneapolis has allowed Richfield to experience a wealth of success in recent years in terms of employment, economy, and real estate.
Perhaps most notable about Richfield is the vast growth in its employment rate. This has become an extremely prosperous area in terms of shopping and independent business, with nearly 2,500 new jobs created between 2001 and 2003. Its most well-known employer is the Best Buy corporation, which moved its headquarters here in 2003, and is Richfield’s largest employer. Undoubtedly, its convenient location along Highway 35, as well as the southern stretch of the famous Nicollet and Lyndale Avenues provide a convenient location for starting businesses. As a result, the suburb has become very popular for businessmen either looking to open a new business or develop branches of successful Minneapolis stores. In either case, it is great news for Richfield, whose employment rate is expected to continue its upward rise.
Aside from its expansive business district, Richfield is also a wonderful area for outdoor recreation. With over 460 acres of parkland within its city limits, many families enjoy taking their children out on the weekends for a hike or to enjoy the beautiful autumn foliage. Additionally, the city of Richfield maintains the ever-popular Wood Lake Nature Center, which contains hundreds of attractive birds and animals, and a series of walking paths to enjoy the natural scenery.
