Saint Anthony Park is a colorful Saint Paul with historic homes in the heart of the Twin Cities. Highly rated schools, plenty of parks and a local arts scene, paired with an involved neighborhood organization, help give the area a family-friendly vibe. Access to Interstate 94 and public transportation makes it easy to travel the less than 10 miles to Downtown Saint Paul and the 5 miles to downtown Minneapolis.
Most of the homes date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, which gives the neighborhood a lot of character. “Saint Anthony homes are really historic,” says Joe Lindsay, Realtor with Edina Realty and Saint Paul resident. “The energy of the homes themselves, it just feels vibrant.” You’ll spot colorful Craftsman homes, Tudor Revivals and Victorian-era Queen Annes sharing the streets with smaller Cape Cods. Older properties have been renovated to meet modern standards, and some are now rented out as multifamily units. There are a handful of townhouses and condos as well. Most homes have back-alley or detached garage parking, but you might have to park on the street.
While nearly 70% of the residents rent, there are plenty of opportunities to own. The median single-family home price is higher than in Hamline-Midway, but significantly lower than in Union Park. You can generally find something under 2,500 square feet for between the low $300,000s and the low $600,000s. Anything larger can range from the mid-$600,000s to over $1.2 million. Townhouses and condos typically cost from the high $100,000s to the mid-$300,000s. “If you are looking for more of a middle ground between Minneapolis and Saint Paul, it’s a great spot,” Lindsay says. “It’s affordable, very art-friendly and, overall, just has supportive, nice neighbors.”
Younger students can attend Saint Paul Public Schools, where families apply to their preferred schools rather than being assigned one based on where they live. Priority enrollment is based on factors like interest in magnet programs and proximity to the campus. The highly rated Saint Anthony Elementary School is in the neighborhood. University of Minnesota – Saint Paul, or U of M, is just outside Saint Anthony Park, and is home to the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences. “It’s certainly not small, and it’s right in the middle of Saint Paul,” Lindsay says. You don’t see a lot of agricultural grounds that close to the city.”
While Saint Anthony Park is located in Saint Paul, it is actually closer to downtown Minneapolis. However, easy access to Interstate 94 means you can reach either downtown area in about 15 minutes. Public transportation is also widely available, thanks to the Metro Transit Green Line Light Rail along University Avenue and bus routes throughout the neighborhood. “I think bus transportation is a lot heavier around the U of M, especially parts of Saint Anthony,” Lindsay says.
Like the rest of Saint Paul, there is no shortage of parks in and around Saint Anthony Park. Options include:
For over 50 years, local artists have been setting up vendor booths at the annual Saint Anthony Park Arts Festival on the first Saturday in June. There is also live music, food vendors, a beer and mead garden and kid-friendly arts and crafts.
The Saint Anthony Park Community Council coordinates events like park clean-ups. “Those events are what keep the neighborhoods thriving,” Lindsay says. “That’s what keeps people engaged and wanting to meet their neighbors.” Besides organizing community get-togethers, the group serves as a liaison between residents and the city council.
There are a handful of restaurants, cafes and breweries in the neighborhood. Here is a small selection of what’s available:
