Welcome, Elizabeth! I think you'll find that the majority of communities in Minnesota have great schools, lots of parks and plenty of churches. Could you narrow down where you want to live?

I agree; those are very broad parameters, and you'll have to be a bit more specific if you want to get some more useful responses. Some sample questions to consider: how big of a place do you want? what kind of neighborhood do you want? (brand new suburban, older suburban, quiet city, bustling city, etc.). Do you want a walkable neighborhood? (and, if so, walking for fun, or walking to stores, restaurants, etc.?) Any idea where you'll be working? Do you take the bus or train? How long a commute are you willing to take on? Do you like older or newer homes? Does diversity of neighbors matter? Your price range is reasonable, and you can certainly find many options that offer churches, schools, parks, etc., too many to list without a few more specifics.
