Welcome to Standish

The quiet suburb of Standish offers residents stable, thriving and quiet living just minutes from downtown Minneapolis. Swedish and Norwegian immigrants began building homes here in the early 1900s, and their cultural influences can still be felt in the area through Dutch Colonial homes and local businesses. Standish got its name from an area elementary school called Miles Standish, after a work by the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Standish is a close-knit community where residents come together through organizations like the Standish-Ericsson Neighborhood Association (SENA), YMCA and block clubs. Block parties and barbeques are a part of regular life here, and neighbors really get to know each other. Residents have access to amenities like the light rail and natural beauty like the lakes, Minnehaha Creek, Minnehaha Falls and the Mississippi River.

Lakes, creeks and rivers

Lake Hiawatha is easily accessible to Standish residents thanks to a paved trail on 26th Street attached to Lake Hiawatha Park. The area also offers scenic paths for biking, a playground and a wading pool. The 241-acre park is a popular spot for fishing, playing sports and enjoying lakeside strolls. When it's too cold for a lakeside getaway, Sibley Park offers hockey and skating on their ice rink and a broad sledding hill perfect for snow days. Sibley Park is one of the neighborhood's best attractions, with its tennis and basketball courts, soccer and softball fields and panoramic walking paths. In the springtime, wildflowers and roses decorate the park.

Diverse dining options

Locals are not hurting for places to eat in Standish. Ted Cook's 19th Hole Barbeque, a takeout-only joint, serves some of the best smoked meat in Minneapolis. Residents head to A Baker's Wife Pastry Shop for delicious donuts and other baked goods. Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub is another local favorite for its beer selection and gourmet sandwiches. The Vietnamese baguette sandwiches at D's Bahn Mi may be a little pricey at $14, but patrons get a massive sandwich made with high-quality ingredients for that price. Coffee from Sisters' Sludge Coffee Cafe, homemade key lime pie from Key West Bistro and burgers from Hamburguesas El Gordo are a few other Standish favorites. When it comes to grabbing groceries, residents head to Everett Foods. There's also the Black Radish, an artist-led urban market garden and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). The urban market provides affordable, locally-grown produce using sustainable farming practices. Meanwhile, residents can feed their imaginations at DreamHaven Books, which specializes in new and used science fiction, fantasy, horror, comics and graphic novels.

I have lived here all my life and i can honestly say that i have enjoyed it very much. Sure it is not the most lavish place to live but everyone is very kind, all races, ethnicity's, and sexual orientations are welcome. The community is however not extremely connected, i do wish that there would be move of a connection between neighbors and people in the area, but other than that it is a great area.
