Location
Get Directions
Willmar is the county seat of Kandiyohi County and the regional hub of southwest-central Minnesota, set among rich farmland, scenic lakes, and rolling hills about 95 miles west of the Twin Cities. With a 2020 population of just over 21,000, it offers many of the amenities of a larger city (regional healthcare, shopping, and services) while keeping a small-town feel. The city grew up as a division point on the Great Northern Railway, and that railroad heritage remains part of its identity today. Ridgewater College, a community and technical college serving several thousand students, adds an educational anchor.
Rentals in Willmar span single-family homes, townhomes, and apartment communities, with costs generally below the Twin Cities metro. The local economy leans on agriculture (turkey processing is a signature industry) along with healthcare, government, and trade, supported by the MinnWest Technology Campus.
