Winter sports and mid-century homes near the Mayo Clinic
After snowstorms in The Manor, a Rochester neighborhood about 4 miles west of downtown, kids bring their sleds to the Judd Park hill. According to Marcia Gehrt, a Realtor with the Enclave Team, people in “Med City” tend to take advantage of winter weather. “I know snowshoers and cross-country skiers,” she says, adding that a lot of parks–including the neighborhood’s namesake park—set up ice rinks in the winter. The Manor is also known for its elementary schools, namely Harriet Bishop and Rochester Montessori, and students walk to class along quiet sidewalks, passing by small neighborhood ponds and classic mid-century homes. “It’s also very convenient to get to the Mayo Clinic downtown or the highway that leads north to the Twin Cities metro area,” says Gehrt. Founded in the late 19th century, the clinic is the city’s leading employer, attracting physicians worldwide. Neighbors ride public buses to reach St. Mary’s Campus or the downtown Methodist Campus; weather permitting, some even hop on their bikes, taking the scenic route past Cascade Lake.
A mix of mid-century and contemporary homes on cozy lots
"The Manor mostly came to be in the 1960s and ‘70s,” says Aaron Jones, of Coldwell Banker, and a varied selection of housing has developed over the last 60 or so years. Ranch-style houses, split-levels, bi-levels and new traditionals are among the most common, and prices can fall between $250,000 and around $550,000. In the neighborhood’s older sections, detached garages sit at the end of long driveways, whereas newer homes—built in the early 2000s and beyond have attached two-car garages and gabled roofs. Streets here are on the hillier side, and “Some of the lots are cozy, so you can really get to know your neighbors,” says Gehrt.
Traditional two story homes are also found in the Manor neighborhood.
Many of the older homes in the Manor neighborhood are ranch style homes.

Sledding, walking trails and swimming in local parks
Down the street from Judd Park, locally renowned for its sledding hill, residents can walk to Manor Park to find a playground and baseball field. Those living in the northern half of the neighborhood throw frisbees or play tag in Diamond Ridge Park, and Jones also points to Cascade Lake Park, about 2 miles away. Drivers will find plenty of parking spots, but it's also accessible via Rochester’s intersecting network of paved trails, which extend more than 85 miles throughout the metro area. Cascade Lake Park has several playgrounds for kids of all age groups, and pathways are lined with wildflowers and open-air xylophones. There’s no lifeguard on duty at the lake, but the water is tested every week to make sure it’s safe for swimmers. The park’s newly built amphitheater hosts outdoor concerts during the summer. Nearby, members of Rochester Golf & Country Club can enjoy amenities like an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center and dining room.

Rochester history at the Days of Yesteryear Festival
At the Days of Yesteryear Festival, an annual event sponsored by the Mechanical History Roundtable, families can watch live oat threshing, sawmill and broom-making demonstrations outside the Ralph Stoppel Farmstead. Visitors to the History Center of Olmsted County can also stop by the Hadley Valley Schoolhouse, built in the late 1800s, or check out the museum’s collection of material artifacts, many of which can be traced back to the Mayo Clinic’s early days. Spectators also flock to Mary Jane Schmidt Field in the summertime to watch the Roosters play vintage baseball.
Mayo Clinic transit, Highway 52 to the Twin Cities and DMC
Mayo Clinic’s St. Mary’s Campus is about 3 miles from The Manor, and the hospital’s downtown Methodist Campus is 4 miles away. Both are accessible via Rochester Public Transit Route 408, which stops regularly throughout the neighborhood. Clinic patients and employees can also take advantage of the free shuttle service between hospital buildings. Downtown skyways and underground walkways mean pedestrians can avoid Minnesota cold. The city’s small airport is about 10 miles from downtown along U.S. Highway 52, which also connects drivers to the Twin Cities 80 miles north. According to Jones, a $5 billion redevelopment project called Destination Medical Center (DMC) is set to dramatically alter Rochester’s landscape in coming years, adding features like curb-free streets to aid wheelchair accessibility.
