Dayton's Bluff
Neighborhood in Saint Paul, Minnesota
Ramsey County 55101, 55106

Densely packed bungalows and Craftsman
Most homes here were built before the 1950s, resulting in architectural styles such as bungalows and Craftsman. Houses are densely packed together, coming with yard space and tree-lined sidewalks. Marraffa: "The housing varies and is unique. There's a lot of old-fashioned houses, with beautiful woodwork, stained glazed windows, more traditional than your typical two-story home. There's also more stately homes: barons of the time, you could say." Residents are split between renters and homeowners, with renters at 51% and homeowners at 49%. Home prices start at $190,000 and go up to $400,000.Spending the day at Margaret Park
Margaret Park serves as the neighborhood green space, stretching over 3.5 acres. Its amenities include a soccer field, which can be used for football, ultimate frisbee, or any other outdoor activity. There are also two softball fields, a playground and benches. The Margaret Recreation was recently removed from the park, creating more space for residents to enjoy the fields. Residents can contact Dayton's Bluff Recreation Center to reserve or rent something at the park. The center offers after-school activities, a gym, rental space and educational programs to community members.Enrolling at Central High School
Children can begin their studies at Dayton's Bluff Elementary School, which earns a C rating from Niche. Students can then continue at Capitol Hill Magnet School and Central High School, which receive B-plus and A ratings, respectively. Central High, the oldest operating high school in Minnesota, offers courses such as the American Indian Education Program and AVID, a nationally recognized college readiness program. It also offers AP and IB courses.The Dayton's Bluff Community Council
Dayton's Bluff has an active and involved HOA, which often holds events for the whole community. One highlight is the Community Gardens, which The Greenspace Committee runs. Gardeners can grow flowers and produce at Skidmore Park in one of the 24 plots available. During spring, the Saint Paul Farmer's Market opens up, providing the community with local produce, baked goods, flowers and more from vendors. Activities like the Spring Day Cleanup, Ice Cream Social and Potluck are also available.Traveling with Interstate 94
The neighborhood is next to several highways: Interstate 94 and 35. I-94 takes residents into Downtown Saint Paul, about a 2-mile drive away. It also leads to downtown Minneapolis, about a 12-mile drive away. "That's one of the great things about the area — you can hop into the car and go anywhere very easily," Marraffa says. Public transportation options, like buses, are also available. There are stops on E 7th Street, 3rd Street E and Minnehaha Ave.Shopping and dining nearby
Grocery stores like the Mississippi Market Natural Foods Co-op, Centromex Supermercado and Hmong Village are nearby. Heading into downtown Saint Paul, about a 2-mile drive away, will reveal even more options in the city. Marraffa says the dining scene is "quite eclectic, with many great independent restaurants." He says, "You've got access to so many different types of cuisine: Thai, Mexican, and Hmong, for instance." Manana Salvadoran is a popular spot, serving dishes like pupusas, quesadillas and enchiladas. There are also big fast-food brands located downtown. Marraffa recommends a Downtown Saint Paul Airport restaurant: "Holman's Table is in the control tower. I really enjoyed it."
