Living in “The City That Soars”
“The City That Soars:” a cheeky motto for a place called Falcon Heights, Minnesota, to have. But with one of the largest state fairs in the U.S., a bustling university campus and one-of-a-kind designer homes, life in Falcon Heights can’t help but feel like an elevated experience. “I like the small-town feel, but just being minutes away from large-city amenities in both Saint Paul and Minneapolis,” says Falcon Heights Assistant to the City Administrator Kelly Nelson.

Employee-exclusive living and diverse housing
Many of the 5,400 Minnesotans living in Falcon Heights work at the University of Minnesota’s Saint Paul campus, which occupies the city's southwest section. In fact, a couple of residential areas in Falcon Heights are exclusive to university employees: the famous University Grove neighborhood features over 100 visually striking homes individually designed by renowned architects. As well, 1666 Coffman Condominiums welcomes U of M faculty aged 55 and up. However, properties that welcome any homebuyer are found all throughout Falcon Heights. Homes from throughout the 20th century — from 1940s cottages to new Craftsman constructions — and a handful of town houses are available and priced between $330,000 and $600,000. Condos at 1666 Coffman boast some of the lowest prices in the city, with one-bedroom models starting in the mid-$100,000s.

K-12 education and the University of Minnesota's Saint Paul campus
Roseville Area Schools and Saint Paul Public Schools serve students in Falcon Heights.

Murray Middle School, rated C-plus, offers unique after-school courses called Flipside, with programs related to topics like Korean culture, magic tricks and spoken word poetry. High schoolers can attend A-rated Roseville Area High School, which offers specialized courses in career and technology education as well as opportunities for work experience. University of Minnesota’s Saint Paul campus takes up a large, verdant section of Falcon Heights, with open areas like The Lawn available for the public to enjoy.

The State Fair, Minnesota’s crown jewel
Directly east of the university is the 322-acre Minnesota State Fairgrounds. While the venue hosts over 200 entertaining events year-round — from motor shows to livestock expos — it’s most crowded during the Minnesota State Fair, the second-largest state fair in the country. “It’s a 12-day-long event that draws over 2 million people to the area,” Nelson says. Falcon Heights also has other spots where locals can enjoy the outdoors outside Fair season, including Community Park, which features several sports facilities, a community garden and an outdoor ice rink during the colder months. Residents also have access to the U of M Les Bolstad Golf Course, a public 18-hole course that offers daily and seasonal green passes.
The Minnesota State Fair lies in the southern area of Falcon Heights.

Comic book shops and Middle Eastern eats
For those looking for entertainment indoors, Source Comics & Games is a one-stop-shop for all things memorabilia-related. This self-described haven for “super nerds and geeks” fills its 10,000-square-foot facility with comics, tabletop games, collectibles and hangout spaces to nerd out with friends. When hours of nonstop fandom fun leave customers famished, locals head to Mim’s Café. This modest restaurant sits next to the university, and customers can dig into Middle Eastern eats like falafel sandwiches and char-grilled kebabs. In the evening, sports fans can enjoy the big game over a beer or two with neighbors at Stout’s Pub & Grill, a lively watering hole serving traditional American fare. Locals have no issues running errands with HarMar Mall just north of Falcon Heights. Shoppers can grab groceries at Cub Foods or shop major brands like Michaels, HomeGoods and Barnes & Noble.

Catching rides with Metro Transit
Falcon Heights has plenty of access to public transportation, with Metro Transit primarily serving the area. Bus stops can be found all along Larpenteur Avenue W, which halves the neighborhood horizontally. Commuters who travel by car are well accommodated by Minnesota State Route 51, which lines the area’s eastern border, and Minnesota State Route 280, less than 1/2 a mile from Falcon Heights’ western border. For out-of-state travel, Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport is exactly 9 miles south.
