Home prices trend lower than nearby suburbs like West St. Paul
South Saint Paul’s market has some variety, with early-1900s bungalows and Foursquares down the road from modern Craftsman styles and New Traditional houses built in the 2000s and 2010s. Still, you’ll find a lot of mid-20th-century Cape Cods, split-levels and ranch-style homes. While driveways and attached garages are common for newer properties, older ones often have back alleys leading to attached garages. There are also townhouses and condos. The median single-family home price is lower than in West Saint Paul, with prices ranging from the high $100,000s to the low $500,000s. You can find an investment property for under $100,000.
Split-level homes are within the South Saint Paul housing markets.

Bring your kids to the playground and ballfields at Jefferson Park
Have a picnic at Fred Lawshe Park
Cool off during the summer at the splash pool at Lorraine Park

Community events like Kaposia Days bring people together
Part of what makes South Saint Paul so special is the sense of community. “People who live in South Saint Paul have lived here for a long time, and they appreciate that they know their neighborhood,” Werner says. Residents come together for events like Kaposia Days, three jam-packed days of festivities to celebrate the community. Programming includes a classic car show and sports tournaments, but Werner says that the best part of the weekend is the Grande Parade. Even smaller events like Splish Splash Bash, where locals cool off with a slip and slide, or the summer concert series at Jefferson Park are “well-attended and a lot of fun,” Werner says.
Most people drive, with Interstate 494 and Highway 52 in the city
When not walking or riding their bikes, most residents get around by car. Interstate 494 and U.S. Route 52 go through the city, leading about 10 miles (15 minutes) to downtown Saint Paul and 20 miles (30 minutes) to downtown Minneapolis. Public transportation is somewhat limited, but Metro Transit buses stop along Highway 52 and Thomas Avenue.
