Greenwald, MN

Greenwald is a tiny, peaceful community of around 200 people in Stearns County, Minnesota. Surrounded by classic Midwestern farmland, it offers a quiet small-town atmosphere where neighbors look out for one another. State Highway 4 runs straight through town, putting you just a few minutes from Interstate 94 and making it easy to drive to larger neighboring hubs like Melrose, Sauk Centre, or St. Cloud for work, schools, and groceries.

Originally established as a railroad stop in the early 1900s, the town gets its name from the German word for forest. Today, Greenwald keeps a simple, easygoing pace, with a handful of quiet residential streets, a local tavern, and open country in every direction. It offers a calm and welcoming home base for anyone looking for rural living with convenient highway access to surrounding amenities.
