What I learned in Owatonna, MN
One of my census assignments was in Owatonna, MN. This is a community at the intersections of I-35 and US Hwy 14 in Steele County. The main sources of employment appeared to be: agriculture, factories, tourism, education, and of course REAL ESTATE! Read on to discover what I learned.
What I learned about Owatonna’s real estate was there are beautiful new subdivisions created with new retails centers. In my previous blog one reason the census is conducted is to show where retails centers should be constructed. Hopefully the census was able to provide information to Owatonna’s zoning and City Council committees regarding this retail center. This particular retail center was on the northern outskirts of town with much protentional to continue building. The retailers were: a Minnesota/Wisconsin/Iowa based gas station, local mom-n-pop restaurant, dental facility, veterinarian, legal counseling group, and many other important shops. What I learned was the main road to divide the new retailers and subdivision with the older residential section seemed more of a welcoming bridge. At times, a new section of town may become a competition with the existing areas; but here seemed to be more of something that was very much wanted.
Another piece I learned was the residents of Owatonna were very proud. One person had their windows open while playing the piano. Kids were safe to play in their yards. Adults would be seen socializing in their neighborhoods. I found this heartwarming!
While walking around neighborhoods, I felt a sense the homes sold quickly. Using my gut feeling, real estate knowledge, and seeing how the neighbors interacted, what I learned is Owatonna wants to be a community to welcome people to stay for a long time!
