About Oronoco
There's a reason why people chose to live in small towns. For the residents of Oronoco, it's a breath of fresh air amongst a backdrop of cornfields nestled along the bluffs of the Zumbro River Valley. It's quiet streets and a night sky where the stars shine a bit brighter. Oronoco offers a historic downtown district, newer developments with sprawling acreages, and a beautiful park and trail system that continues to expand. Depending on the address, homes are in the Pine Island School District or Rochester Public Schools, and there are private schools in Rochester. There's no dazzling list of attractions or four-star resorts, and that’s okay. Oronoco is just five miles from Rochester, MN, a city with arts, fine dining and endless shopping. Combine a small-town setting with a close proximity to both Rochester and the Twin Cities and you've got yourself a hidden gem.
