Montevideo is a scenic, walkable riverside town at the confluence of the Minnesota and Chippewa Rivers with a friendly, small‑town vibe, accessible outdoor recreation, and enough local cafes, parks, and community events to make multi‑week stays comfortable and social.
You’re also close to bigger hubs — Marshall and Willmar are each about 38–40 miles away (roughly a 45–60 minute drive) for wider dining, shopping, and regional services, so you get quiet, affordable living with easy access to larger amenities.
