Nicollet Island offers vibrant culture near downtown Minneapolis
The St. Anthony Main neighborhood of Minneapolis is a well-established neighborhood that is a true societal melting pot in an urban setting. Situated as it is directly across the bridge from Nicollet Island, it’s not uncommon to see students from DeLaSalle High School on the island having lunch in the neighborhood next to young professionals sitting across from retirees. “There is such a great mix of people in the neighborhood,” says Michael Peterson, owner of Drive Results Realty, who has represented real estate transactions in the neighborhood for 15 years. “It’s a mix of ages, races, income levels, everything. And everyone in the neighborhood loves that about the area. They love the diversity.” And despite its urban nature, St. Anthony Main provides ample opportunity for pedestrians to travel around safely, thanks to plenty of sidewalks. “It’s a very walkable neighborhood,” says Peterson. “It’s well-lit and it’s safe, so you feel comfortable walking your dog at 10:00 at night.” And because the neighborhood is bounded by both First Avenue and Central Avenue, the location affords easy access to downtown Minneapolis, which is less than 2 miles away. For those without their own car, several METRO Bus Rapid Transit stops are located throughout the neighborhood, and there are also two METRO light rail stops nearby.
The Hennepin Avenue Bridge carries Hennepin County State Aid Highway 52.

Lots of variety in the local dining scene
When it’s time to stock up on groceries, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are both within a couple of minutes’ drive of the neighborhood, located across the Central Avenue Bridge, and Target is 2 minutes away down University Avenue for all of those home necessities. What really brings non-residents of the neighborhood to St. Anthony Main is the restaurants in the area. “One of the things I love about dining out in the neighborhood is that the restaurant scene is amazing, but it’s also always changing. It seems like there’s a new place every time I go, and I tell people that my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood is whatever is new,” says Peterson. Two of Peterson’s current favorites are Greek fare from Gardens of Salonica and Asian cuisine at Gorkha Palace. But there is a restaurant for virtually every taste and budget in the neighborhood and, just in case, other world-class options are just down the road in downtown Minneapolis.
Whole Foods is an American supermarket chain and is highly visited in Minneapolis
Gardens of Salonica uses organic vegetables, wild-caught meats and locally sourced goods.
