St. Francis and surrounding communities have enjoyed tremendous growth due to their proximity to the Twin Cities, but they still retain their small town feel, with a mixture of big city amenities and rural open spaces. The area has not only seen vast residential growth, but also commercial and industrial growth as well. The area also has many recreational opportunities due to its location along the Rum River and many county parks surround the pristine Minnesota lakes.

St. Francis has it all, from developments with an urban feel, to farms with a variety of animals and crops. With a population of nearly 6,000 in St. Francis alone, the area's industrial parks and commercial zones would be a perfect place for your business.

Located along State Highway 47 and County Roads 28, 9, 7 and 24, St. Francis has many routes leading in and out of town. St. Francis is the home to Independent School District 15, which also serves East Bethel, Bethel, Oak Grove and parts of Andover and Nowthen and Athens and Stanford Townships.
