Xavier best-worst Nov 25, 2025

First post here. I relocated for work and Homes are going for about $294,500 on average. The median home value here is around $294,500, which seems about average. Average temperature is around 47--F, so expect cold winters. Crime rate is something to consider -Mounds View sits at 202.9 per 100K. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Pros:
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Active local events

Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
- Homelessness issues downtown
