Holy Trinity Longfellow mixes suburban and urban comforts
Named after its local Catholic church and the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Holy Trinity Longfellow offers a suburban life with urban comforts around the corner. Residents enjoy neighborhood schools, a small anchoring park with a playground and a selection of independent businesses they can walk to. They're also a short drive from bustling downtown La Crosse and the city's most notable natural features, from trails through bluffs to beaches and the Mississippi River. All of this is met with the everyday warmth of living here. "Family is a strong word for this community," says Karla Frank-Anderson, a Realtor with Bi-State Realty and Appraisals, who has lived in La Crosse since the 1990s. "Everyone helps everyone."
