Alexandria is the Douglas County seat and the hub of west-central Minnesota's lakes region — a city of 14,000 known for Vikings history, Lake Carlos, and as a gateway to hundreds of recreational lakes. Year-round Alexandria residents experience brutal winters with January lows regularly below -10°F. Here's what furnace replacement costs in Alexandria in 2026.
