North Saint Paul has small-town charm near the Twin Cities
North Saint Paul is a Twin Cities suburb that stands out from Saint Paul for its small-town charm, felt throughout its historic downtown and the giant snowman just off the highway. When not walking past the brick storefronts along Seventh Avenue, people are spending time at one of the city’s many parks. Many people commute to the Twin Cities for work, either by taking Highway 36 or by public transportation.
North Saint Paul's Silver Lake is lined with two-story and ranch-style homes.
Polar Park offers a park designed for small children.

Suburban community where home prices trend lower than Oakdale
North Saint Paul is one of the less expensive Twin Cities suburbs, with a median single-family home price that is significantly lower than in Oakdale. Prices generally range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$700,000s. While you can find some townhouses and condos, which cost between the mid-$100,000s and the mid-$400,000s, most of the city’s market consists of mid-20th-century ranch-style homes and cottages. There are also some older farmhouses and New Traditional builds from the 1980s to the 2000s. Realtor Artemisa Boston with eXp Realty, who has worked in the Twin Cities since 2001, says that North Saint Paul feels much more suburban than Saint Paul. “It’s a lot more like living in Maplewood, but there’s also a lot of greenery.”
Ranch-style homes are common in North Saint Paul.
Smaller cottages can be found throughout the city.

Commuters take Highway 36 to downtown St. Paul
The self-proclaimed World’s Largest Snowman greets drivers as they go down Highway 36, one of the main commuter routes that goes through the city. You can reach Downtown Saint Paul in about 10 miles (15 minutes) and downtown Minneapolis in about 15 miles (30 minutes). You can also take Metro Transit buses, which stop along Seventh Avenue East.
Walkable downtown is home to Minnesota’s oldest bar
“North Saint Paul is great because it’s very close to the cities, but it’s a little town with everything that comes along with that,” Boston says. “It’s got a post office, a library and some cozy little restaurants and coffee shops.” Daily life is centered around a walkable downtown along Seventh Avenue East, where you can find local businesses like:
Neumann’s Bar & Grill, which is the oldest continuously running bar in Minnesota
Mac’s Diner, a retro-themed restaurant with fun twists on diner fare
Casa Maya Cafe, a family-owned bakery that serves Central American coffee and pastries
Paperbacks Plus Bookstore, which has a wide collection of used books and DVDs
Antiques at the Pharmacy, with an eclectic mix of vintage and antique decor
Outside of downtown, you can find grocery options like Hy-Vee and big-box stores like Target. Maplewood Mall is only a few minutes away and has more recognizable brands and department stores.
Neumann's Bar & Grill has been serving North Saint Paul since 1887.
Roddy's Bar & Grill is a local favorite in downtown North Saint Paul.

Community parks and trails bring people outside
North Saint Paul has more than a dozen parks and nature preserves, so it’s no surprise that residents spend a lot of time outdoors. One of the most popular parks is Casey Lake Park, which spans over 30 acres. Scenic multiuse trails wrap around a shallow fishing lake that’s regularly stocked with panfish, but you can also find more traditional amenities like a playground, hockey rink and ballfields. Silver Lake Park has a sandy beach with volleyball courts, while the Southwood Nature Preserve is a more forested park with hiking trails. Walkers and cyclists also head to the Gateway State Trail, an 18-mile paved trail that connects Saint Paul to Stillwater.
The trails around Silver Lake offer a scenic walk.
The Gateway State Trail runs through North Saint Paul and is a favorite with cyclists.

Residents come together for community events like Fire & Ice
Part of what gives North Saint Paul its small-town charm is its community events, which bring residents together. Some of the annual highlights are Fire & Ice, a winter festival with bonfires and hot cocoa at Casey Lake Park, and the Autumn Arts Festival, a jam-packed day with live music, food trucks and artist vendors. There are also recurring events, like the Friday Night Car Shows, which fill downtown every Friday from June through mid-September.
