Centered on Green Lake, Spicer (56288) offers a classic Minnesota lake-town lifestyle with four distinct seasons—snowy, quiet winters and sunny summers filled with boating, paddling, and fishing. You’ll find everyday convenience at Teal’s Market, coffee at Middle Fork Cafe in nearby New London, lakeside eats at O’Neil’s and Zorbaz on Green Lake, family fun at Big Kahuna Fun Park, and easy workouts at local gyms; bigger-box shopping is 10–15 minutes away in Willmar. The Glacial Lakes State Trail and Sibley State Park bring biking, hiking, birding, and fall-color drives, while Saulsbury Beach and public docks make water access simple. Community events like WinterFest and Fourth of July fireworks keep the small-town, friendly vibe strong, with a mix of year-round residents and seasonal lake-home owners, plus plenty of pet-friendly green space. Recent Zillow trends show median asking rents around $1,200–$1,400, with most listings roughly $900–$1,900 depending on size and lake proximity.
