Founded in the 1850s by Charles Stewart, Stewartville combines small-town charm with convenient access to nearby Rochester. This Minnesota city sits just 10 miles south of Rochester and adjacent to the Rochester International Airport, making it a convenient location for anyone seeking a quieter residential setting while staying connected to the region's opportunities.

Stewartville provides excellent transportation options with Interstate 90 running along its northern edge and direct access via U.S. Route 63 and Minnesota State Highway 30. Rental options include single-family homes and smaller apartment communities that offer more space and privacy than what's typically available in larger cities. The area's steady growth — reaching over 6,600 residents — has supported development while maintaining the community's close-knit atmosphere.

The city's location in the Rochester Metropolitan Area means renters enjoy proximity to Rochester's amenities while benefiting from Stewartville's more relaxed pace. Bear Creek Park offers walking trails and picnic areas, while Florence Park provides recreational facilities for outdoor activities. The 15-minute commute to Rochester makes it easy to access major employers and urban amenities while enjoying Stewartville's more spacious living arrangements.
