Peacepipe Park
Neighborhood in Mankato, Minnesota
Blue Earth County 56001
Ranch-style homes and split levels
To the neighborhood's east, homes cluster in cul-de-sacs around the park, whereas homes to the west are laid out in a grid. The streets are broad, with plenty of room for parking, but most residents have attached garages and driveways. Ranch-style homes dominate the landscape. “Most of the homes were built in the late 70s, and early 80’s, so it’s a lot of ranches. There are some split levels, but you're not going to see many two-stories,” says Cousins. Prices range from $180,000 to $380,000 on average.

Peacepipe Park
Peacepipe Park is on a hilltop within the neighborhood. “It’s one of those few parks in town that’s not too out of the way. There's always someone playing; there's always kids having fun over there.” This small green space has playground equipment at the center, while bordering oaks and elms offer shade around the perimeter. The park also features a pavilion and barbeque pit. Bordering the neighborhood to the east is Erlandson Park, with sprawling athletics fields, a playground and picnic spots. This community park also has an outdoor ice-skating rink, available when weather permits, along with a decorative garden.The Mankato Public School District
The Mankato Public School District serves the residents of Peacepipe Park. Students can attend Kennedy Elementary School, Prairie Winds Middle School and Mankato East Senior High School, all of which score a B-plus on Niche. Mankato East Senior High offers Advanced Placement classes and Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID).

Day of the Dead celebration
Just before Halloween, Mankato residents flock to River Front Drive in Old Town Mankato to celebrate the Day of the Dead. Zamora Folklore and Aztec Dancers parade through streets lined with markets and food trucks selling authentic Mexican food as mariachi music swells in the air.Travel in Peacepipe Park and beyond
Peacepipe Park is somewhat walkable, as most streets within the neighborhood have sidewalks, though many residents use a car to get around. Public transportation is limited, but there are several bus stops along Holly Lane and Black Eagle Drive. For longer-distance travel, the Mankato Regional Airport is located about 6 miles northeast of Riverfront Park, though it's served by one airline. A broader selection of flights and destinations can be found in Minneapolis-St. Paul, about 77 miles away.A host of international dining options
Though the neighborhood itself is largely residential, shopping and dining can be found to the north of the community along Madison Avenue. El Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant serves traditional Mexican food and margarita pitchers while offering patio dining during the summer. “Mazatlan is awesome- it's super authentic,” Cousins said. “If you’re a local and you're going to have Mexican food, that’s where you eat.” Right next door is Olde Brick House, an Irish restaurant with a rustic but classic interior featuring leather seats and stained-glass detailing. For groceries, there's a Walmart Supercenter located on Madison Avenue.
