You’ll Like Ashby!

From our thriving business district to our award-winning pre-K through 12 school to our extraordinary

fire, ambulance and police department, Ashby offers a great place to visit and an even better place to live.

A number of community activities happen throughout

the year including an amazing Memorial Day Program; the annual Coots Unlimited Banquet in May; Ashby

Appreciation Days in July; and the Farmers Market and Community Festival every Thursday in August.

A large number of lakes are within a 15 mile radius of Ashby with Pelican Lake, just south of Ashby, as one of

the largest with some great recreational and fishing opportunities. The Central Lakes Trail, a 55-mile

paved hiking/biking/snowmobiling trail runs through the heart of the City.

You’ll find a beautiful residential development on the eastern edge of the City called Country View Estates.

With some great buying incentives, this is an ideal location to build a home.

You’ll find a number of larger communities within a half hour drive of Ashby making our location, your

ultimate bedroom community.

"I have lived in Ashby for 86 years. My wife and I

feel that the community has all of the necessary

services that we need: access to hospitals, excellent

fire department and ambulance services, as well as

many dedicated local EMT's. For the older

generation, these are very important. Our thriving

community offers a wonderful school, is a lake

country, close to I-94, and has golf, fishing, and

hunting all around. It is also 30 minutes from

Fergus Falls or Alexandria, and 90 minutes from

Fargo or St. Cloud." ~Robert & Elaine Anderson

"The first thing we realized when moving to Ashby, is the

people are genuinely good people! We have amazing

neighbors all around us. Everyone is so friendly and will-

ing to help out. We like living in a community that is so

supportive. We plan to raise a family in the future and

heard so many great things about the education at the

Ashby School." ~Aaron & Amanda Duenow

We both grew up in small, close-knit communities, knowing the ability to provide the same opportunity for our children was of utmost importance. As a young family, education and safety are top priorities. The Ashby School District is second to none and the community boasts an extraordinary ambulance service and fire department, as well as its own law enforcement. To top it all off, Ashby’s location near I-94 gave us the opportunity to seek employment from Fergus Falls to Alexandria. We could not have chosen a better community to raise our family! - Dallas and Alexis Rylander
