Watertown, Minnesota is located along the south fork of the Crow River in northern Carver County. Although the city is conveniently located within the Twin Cities 7- county metro area, it still retains the charm and slower pace of small town living. This is a town where people still wave at each other when they drive by. They will probably strike up a conversation with you if you visit a local café, and in the winter you can still hop on your snowmobile and catch miles of snow covered trail right outside your back door.

The estimated median household income in 2008: $60,145 (it was $47,500 in 2000).
