Neighborhoods

It's been said Saint Paul is the City of Neighborhoods. While the City has 17 official district councils which give residents a say in decisions affecting their communities, it also has a smaller number of neighborhoods that have become their own entities. Each neighborhood has its own unique feel with a neighborhood grocery store or popular pub or well known spot for a burger, or pizza or walleye.

Some neighborhoods you should check out while you're here include:

West Seventh:
West Seventh is a mesh of the old and new. With the historic Mancini's Steakhouse as an anchor it holds true to its Saint Paul roots while opening itself up to new developments. It's got everything you could ask for in one stretch including grocery stores, fantastic restaurants, liquor stores, fast food and easy access to major highways.

Grand Avenue:
When it's not the first Sunday of June and the site of the largest one day outdoor festival in the Midwest, Grand Avenue is a melting pot of boutique shops, family restaurants and pubs and sidewalks full of people looking for the next great deal.
