A pedestrian-friendly community

Like many Roseville neighborhoods, Roselawn was developed after World War II and has maintained its mid-century suburban charm. “It hasn’t changed a whole lot,” says Mary Johnson, the church director at Roseville Lutheran Church, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1984. “It’s pretty established, so you won’t see a lot of new construction. The parks do get renovated a lot, though, and we’ll get new storefronts here and there.” Locals live in mid-1900s houses on slow-paced residential streets, where people are frequently out and about. “You’re constantly seeing people walking around,” says Johnson. “A lot of people walk their dogs and strollers. Those who live close enough, walk to pick up groceries. Some people even walk to church on Sunday mornings.” Roseville Lutheran Church is just one of several houses of worship surrounded by homes. All fall within Christian denominations, including Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Calvary Church and Door Church, which is located in a shopping center.

Mid-1900s suburban houses

Roselawn’s straight residential streets are lined with single-family homes built between the 1940s and '70s. The most common designs include ranch-style homes, bi-levels and Colonial Revivals. Most properties feature garages, quarter-acre lots and fenced backyards with neighbors to either side and the back. These homes typically range from 1,000 to 2,500 square feet, selling for around $285,000 to $450,000. Some larger Colonial Revivals have around 3,000 to 3,500 square feet of living space and are priced between $500,000 and $650,000. There aren’t many sidewalks in Roselawn, but the wide, low-traffic streets allow residents to go for casual strolls around the neighborhood.

Bustling intersections with shopping centers

The intersection of County B Road West and Snelling Avenue bustles with retailers and restaurants on the north side of the neighborhood. There’s the HarMar Mall, a shopping center with several stores, including Marshalls, Michaels and Burlington. Target is just across the street and Rosedale Center, the fourth-largest mall in Minnesota, is less than 2 miles north. The neighborhood’s busy intersection has an even mix of fast food restaurants, national chains and local multicultural establishments. Taco Libre is a casual spot for specialty tacos and other Mexican dishes. Leeann Chin offers counter-serve Chinese food and Chianti Grill is where many go for an upscale Italian meal. More shopping centers can be found on the neighborhood’s southside at the intersection of Lexington Avenue North and Larpenteur Avenue West. For groceries, there’s Aldi and Cub Foods. This area has more local restaurants, including The Café Meow, a spot to grab a cup of coffee or spend time in the cat lounge, surrounded by adoptable pets. There’s also Keys Café, a staple chain across the Minneapolis metro that was established in 1973. “Keys Café is very popular,” says Johnson. “It’s home cooking with a Minnesota twist. They’ll cook Minnesota wild rice in their omelets and bread.”
Rosedale Shopping Center offers over 150 stores for shopping convenience.

Ice skating at Lexington Park

Lexington Park has lots of outdoor activities. There’s a playground surrounded by a grassy field where kids can play while parents watch from a picnic table. The playground is expected to be upgraded by the city in 2025. The basketball court lights up for those who want to play pickup games at night. And there’s a lit-up rink used for hockey and ice skating in the winter and roller skating during the warmer months. Lexington Park’s community building has a kitchen and is frequently rented out for celebrations. Bruce Russell Park shares a parking lot with Roseville Lutheran Church. Though smaller than Lexington Park, it’s still packed with amenities, including adjoined tennis and basketball courts, a sand volleyball court and a playground.

Rosefest, New Year's Eve on Ice and a summer block party

Rosefest is an annual celebration of Roseville, featuring a carnival and the Rose Parade. Roselawn residents can catch the parade on the north side of the neighborhood along Country Road B2 West. A few miles away, the Roseville Skating Center hosts New Year's Eve on Ice, where people can skate on the outdoor Oval rink while surrounded by lit up trees as they prepare to ring in the new year.

Events are held at Roseville Lutheran Church throughout the year, and they’re not just for members. “We have a big parking lot, which allows us to hold outdoor events,” says Johnson, “and we get people to come from all over Roseville.” The church’s annual Praise fundraiser event is held every summer and is described by Johnson as a big block party with food trucks and family-friendly activities. They also host a fall festival in September. “We have a hospitality manager who cooks up a storm,” says Johnson. “We also have games for little ones and get a license to have beer.”
Roseville Residents line the streets to watch the Annual Rose Parade every June.
