Goodview, MN

Goodview is a scenic residential community of around 4,000 people, sitting right along the Mississippi River bluffs on the western edge of Winona. Originally starting as a small subdivision, it has grown into its own city while maintaining a quiet, friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Highway 61 runs right through town, making it easy for commuters to reach Winona’s employers, historic downtown, and local universities in just a few minutes.

Local recreation revolves around Lake Goodview and Michael LaCanne Memorial Park, a favorite gathering spot with a sandy swimming beach, fishing pier, playgrounds, and paved walking paths. Families with young children have Goodview Elementary right in the neighborhood, with older students attending middle and high school in Winona. It is a great fit for anyone wanting a relaxed small-town feel surrounded by bluff country, with all the conveniences of a larger neighbor right next door.
