About the Event

Bringing the Parade of Homes to Rochester

Rochester, Minnesota, has experienced a surge in growth and development over the past decade. As a hub of healthcare, innovation, and education, the city has become a magnet for professionals, families, and students alike. However, with this growth comes a critical challenge: the need for new housing to accommodate the expanding population.

The city’s robust job market, coupled with its high quality of life, has led to a significant increase in demand for housing. Yet, the supply of homes has struggled to keep pace. Newcomers and longtime residents alike are feeling the crunch, with housing availability becoming a pressing issue. The need for diverse housing options — from affordable starter homes to high-end properties — has never been more urgent.
