Our Community

The City of Rogers is a vibrant and growing city on the edge of the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. Situated as a key gateway between the metro and Greater Minnesota, Rogers delivers the best combination of “big-city” access and amenities along with small-town character and wide-open spaces. Residents and visitors enjoy a unique mix of urban and rural residential neighborhoods, commercial shopping opportunities, and an important industrial employment center.

Rogers has seen rapid growth over the past two decades and continues to thrive. With approximately 13,500 residents, Rogers is also a center of employment and commerce, boasting more than 10,000 jobs and a citywide median household income toward the top of the Twin Cities metro area. Rogers’ sizable commercial core offers a wide variety of necessity and convenience products as well as destination-oriented shopping. In particular, the well-known Cabela’s retail store remains the largest outdoor/sporting goods store in the state, offering a unique shopping experience that is unmatched in the metro area for outdoor-oriented sportspersons and families.

The City’s Parks and Recreation programs enhance the way we live with 452 acres of park land, 14 playgrounds, the Senior Center, the Community Room, the Activity Center, over 20 multipurpose play fields, 17 baseball/softball fields, and 35.9 miles of trails, paths, and sidewalks. In the summer, everyone is welcome to enjoy live music, movies in the park, the Farmers Market, or reserve a plot at one of two Community Gardens. Year-round skating can be found at the Rogers Activity Center with additional outdoor rinks in winter. Families can experience nature and check out the fall colors by enjoying the scenic trails at Henry’s Woods. A wide variety of recreational programs are available year-round, including youth and adult athletics and specialty programs for older adults such as day trips and weekly events. Rogers Parks and Recreation partners with ISD 728 Community Ed to offer over 150 programs throughout the year at Rogers facilities.

The City of Rogers is also home to the outstanding Rogers High School and the many acclaimed Rogers Royals sports and activity programs. With Rogers Middle School and two elementary schools rounding out a strong K-12 system, families with school-age children can be confident that a first-class education is available right here in the Rogers community.

When combined with moderately priced housing stock and convenient transportation corridors, all of the traits noted above make living in Rogers as affordable as it is enjoyable. Make Rogers your next destination to live, work, shop, or play!
