Mora, MN Homes for Rent

A small town of 4,000 people, Mora is located about 70 miles north of the Twin Cities, beyond the metro area’s ring of suburbs and exurbs. “It’s a pretty rural community,” says Benjamin Mattson, owner of the Clients for Life Group of Keller Williams, who has worked in the area for about a decade. “There are a lot of farms and not a ton of industry. But it does feel like a smaller, older town with a traditional main street.” Despite its small scale, Mora hosts a few large-scale events, like a cross-country skiing race, while also serving as a gateway to the lakes of northern Minnesota. Homes from the early to mid-20th century line the tree-shaded residential streets near downtown. Cottages, ranch-style and half-story homes tend to sell from $90,000 to $300,000, depending on renovation status and size. Newer subdivisions, some of them near Mora Lake or the Snake River, feature New Traditional architecture and go for $200,000 to $400,000. The Mora Public Schools system serves the community and receives a B overall grade from Niche. Students attend kindergarten through sixth grade at Mora Elementary, which receives a B-plus rating. Mora High, rated B, teaches seventh through 12th
