A residential and commercial hybrid
Unlike much of St. Louis Park, the Shelard Park neighborhood is not purely residential. Instead, it's is a mixed-use community, containing businesses, office spaces and residential units surrounding the namesake public park at the center of the neighborhood. Condos here, which make up almost all of the available housing for sale, start at $150,000 and go up to as high as $400,000 for a unit. Bill Beyer, a retired architect and editor of the St. Louis Park Historical Society, explains that Shelard Park's unique makeup is because of its annexation by St. Louis Park in 1955. "Shelard Park is so detached from the fabric of the rest of the city that I almost never go there — there's a story of annexation from the 1950s on our website." Despite existing somewhat in its own bubble, the area has no shortage of parks, restaurants and other amenities to explore. Beyer says, "When I drove through to re-familiarize myself with the place, it all looked so new, even though residential development began 40 years ago."
Twin Fountains Condominiums has a swimming pool and private garages.
Fruit & Fish Grocery is a small food market in Willow Grove Center.

Modern condos to choose from
According to Leasing Agent Lazarus Jackson of Westwind Apartments, "People choose to live here because of the convenience, it's ideal because it's close to everything, especially since we're by two major highways." Homes consist of a mix of modern condo styles, starting at $150,000 and going up as high as $500,000 for newly renovated or larger units. Residents can choose from studios or one to two bedrooms. Three-bedroom condos are also an option for those looking for extra space. Because housing in the neighborhood isn't single-family, residents can find a community within close proximity of each other– going over to a neighbor's place down the floor or upstairs.

Visit Teahouse for Chinese food
Teahouse, a local favorite in the area, is a Chinese restaurant serving Sichuan-style cuisine. Agent Jackson speaks on the longevity of Teahouse: "I believe that restaurant has been around forever, almost 20 years if I'm not wrong; people love that place." Kip's Irish Pub is another option residents frequent. The restaurant is known for its wood-paneled interior, offering Irish food and beer. When it comes to groceries and other essentials, Eastern European grocery store Fish & Chips is the go-to. Residents can take nearby highways into downtown St. Louis Park for amenities outside the neighborhood.
