Highly sought-after community in Highland Park
Named for the large city park at its center and butting up against the Mississippi River, Highland Park is a peaceful Saint Paul community with a bit of everything. "It's a desirable neighborhood that is centrally located in Saint Paul. It's adjacent to the river, and the river road in Saint Paul is desirable for runners and bikers," says Dan Schneider, a Realtor with Vibe Realty, who has sold multiple homes in the neighborhood. "The other thing that's really popular about Highland Park is that it's very walkable to shops, restaurants and coffee shops. It's a very pedestrian and bicycle-friendly area." Nearby parks in the neighborhood provide miles of trails to explore, plus activities such as golf and swimming. Residents have easy access to developed parks and areas that feel more like nature, with paths that meander along the Mississippi River, adding a sense of wonder to a daily jog.

In this community there isn't much of any crime going on. There are many families who live here who are always watching out for their neighbors and people around them to keep them as safe as possible. There are police present during the day and night but not as much as there would be in a high crime community.
