Older styles include bungalows, cottages and the occasional Tudor Revival, and there are some split-level and ranch-style homes. Residents can park on the street, but the oldest homes have driveways and detached garages. Newer properties have attached garages.

Townhouses and condos can cost from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$200,000s. “It’s still under that price point where it’s very affordable, and you actually see multiple offers,” says Lupe Dominguez Gonzalez, Realtor with the Hartmann Team at Re/Max Results, who grew up on the East Side. Over 40% of the residents rent, and there are some apartment complexes in the neighborhood. “Whether it’s a first-time homebuyer or someone setting their roots forever, it’s their home, and I think everyone just wants to help out,” Dominguez Gonzalez says.

Phalen Regional Park offers outdoor recreation and popular events
Living in Prosperity Heights means you are just over a mile from Phalen Regional Park in Payne-Phalen, one of the largest parks on the East Side. “Everyone knows Phalen, and the thing is, it’s so accessible,” Dominguez Gonzalez says. “You could be coming from Maplewood... and it’s right there at the center.” At the heart of the park is Lake Phalen, with its sandy beaches and boat docks. Other amenities include:
Miles of multiuse trails, where you can bike and hike
The Saint Paul-Changsha China Friendship Garden, known for its striking pavilion
A recreation center, which has a full gym and programs for all ages
Phalen Park Golf Course, a public, 18-hole course
Playgrounds and athletic fields, where you can bring the kids
The park hosts several events throughout the year, from regular 5Ks to annual celebrations. One of the most popular events is the Dragon Festival, which is held every July. The day kicks off with dragon boat racing, and the rest of the schedule includes other Asian-Pacific educational, athletic and artistic activities throughout the year.
Neighborhood parks have walking trails and recreational fields
You don’t have to travel for some outdoor fun, with Prosperity Heights and Prosperity parks in the neighborhood. The former is nearly 10 acres of open land, with a small pond and trails that lead to Prosperity Park, where you can find more traditional amenities like baseball and softball fields, a playground and bocce ball courts. "It's one of those parks where you just go and have the kids running around," Dominguez Gonzalez says.
