Frogtown is a lively, close-knit community near downtown St. Paul
While it is formally named Thomas-Dale, locals have been calling this vibrant Saint Paul neighborhood Frogtown since the mid-1800s. The leading theory is that the nickname comes from frog-filled swamps that once defined the landscape. While the frogs and swamps are long gone, the name lives on through its tight-knit community, historic homes and Frogtown Farm. You can walk from your house to businesses in the Little Mekong district, and Downtown Saint Paul is less than 2 miles away.
Frogtown is a colorful St. Paul neighborhood with a strong arts scene.
Frogtown is less than five minutes from Downtown St. Paul.

Homes with character cost less than those in nearby neighborhoods
“Frogtown is one of those neighborhoods in Saint Paul that just has a lot of character,” says Melissa Wiegele, Realtor and team lead of the Wiegele Realty Group at Coldwell Banker Realty. “There are families who have lived in the neighborhood for generations, mixed with newer residents and small business owners who have brought a lot of energy to the area.” Frogtown’s charm comes as much from its houses as it does from its people. “I love that many of the homes have history to them,” Wiegele says. “You see a lot of early 1900s architecture and homes with personality that you don’t always get in newer neighborhoods.” You’ll find a lot of bungalows, National Folk styles and Foursquares throughout the neighborhood. Wiegele says that many of these older houses have been renovated to meet today’s standards while preserving their character.
“One thing that attracts buyers is that the price point is often a little more accessible compared to some other neighborhoods in Saint Paul, so that it can be a great option for first-time buyers or people looking for a home with charm,” Wiegele says. The median sale price for a single-family home in Frogtown is less than that in surrounding neighborhoods like Summit-University and Hamline-Midway. Single-family and multifamily properties range from the low $100,000s to the high $300,000s, depending on the size and condition. Over 60% of the residents rent.
Many homes were built in the early 1900s.
Frogtown residents love to decorate and plant their houses with floral gardens.
There are large Craftsman style homes throughout the neighborhood.

Frogtown Park is a community hub with an urban farm
Frogtown Park is in the heart of the neighborhood, with a playground, outdoor kitchen and a sledding hill. It is also home to Frogtown Farm, one of the country’s largest organic urban farms. “It’s a great example of the community coming together around shared spaces,” Wiegele says. The park and farm were established by the Frogtown Neighborhood Association, which also helped with the renovation of the Victoria Theatre. The theater, built in 1915, is now 825 Arts, a community arts center with events like after-school programs, art-focused barbecues and the annual Frogtown Arts Festival, which has live music and vendors. The neighborhood association also has programs for housing and food security, like the weekly meal distribution through Feeding Frogtown. “Groups like that really help strengthen the community and make sure residents have a voice in what’s happening in the neighborhood,” Wiegele says. Locals also visit the Frogtown Community Center, which has athletic fields and programs like an adult volleyball league.
Frogtown Farm is the largest urban farm in the country.
Frogtown Farm was founded in 2013, as is one of the many initiatives from the Frogtown Neighborhood Association.
