The community falls under the East Bank Neighborhoods Partnership
The neighborhood’s grid-like streets make it easy to walk to businesses and restaurants along Hennepin and Como avenues, the latter of which also has painted bike lanes. The area is filled with trees whose leaves change color each fall, matching well with the university’s maroon and gold color scheme. Most homes have small, grassy front yards with a few plants. The East Bank Neighborhoods Partnership supports the community through events like block parties and the Music in the Park concert series. Though the neighborhood is near the university and nightlife spots, noise is not typically an issue.
Thomas Edison High School serves the community.
Grade-school students are zoned for a highly rated district
The area falls under the Minneapolis Public School District, which earns a B Niche score. Minnesota’s open-enrollment policy allows students to attend any school outside of the district that has room. Other options include private schools and citywide magnet schools, like Marcy Arts Elementary School, which use enrollment lotteries. The University of Minnesota's flagship Twin Cities campus serves more than 50,000 students.

Area restaurants have famous burgers and karaoke nights
The Blue Door Pub is known for its Blucy burgers, a spin on the region’s famed Juicy Lucy patties, which are stuffed with cheese and other ingredients. Manning’s is a cafe and bar that has served the community since 1932, and Como Tap is a late-night spot with karaoke on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The neighborhood is around 2 miles from the Old Town Minneapolis commercial district, spread across Nicollet Island and Marcy-Holmes. That’s where you can find longstanding bars and restaurants like Kramarczuk’s, which serves Eastern European cuisine and doubles as a sausage shop. The Dinkytown nightlife district, often a favorite of college students, is also in Marcy-Holmes.

It's easy to get downtown by car or by bus
The neighborhood is around 2 miles from the University of Minnesota’s flagship Twin Cities campus, so students and staff have plenty of ways to get there, including walking. It takes about 10 minutes by car, or 15-25 minutes by Metro Transit bus. Downtown Minneapolis, roughly 3 miles out, is also close to a 10-minute drive via Interstate 35W, which cuts through Como’s west end, or a 25- to 40-minute bus ride. Downtown is where businesses like Target and U.S. Bank have their headquarters, and where visitors can see concerts at venues like The Armory.
