A neighborhood in transition
One of the older neighborhoods in the city, more than half of the housing inventory in St. Anthony West was built prior to 1939. The neighborhood has been targeted with revitalization efforts, which have spurred renovations and new construction, giving the area a modern feel amid the historic architecture. “A lot of new apartment buildings have gone up in the last five or six years. That transformation is going to continue,” Farah says. There is a mix of single-family, town houses and multi-unit dwellings. About half of the housing in the community are homes in buildings with more than four units. Because of its proximity to the university and the number of renters, the neighborhood is popular with investors and homeowners looking to live in an income property. Spacious, older homes that have been renovated list for between $400,000 and $600,000, while newer townhomes typically list for between $300,000 and $400,000.
