Landscaped lawns near Mayo Clinic campuses and shopping centers
Compared to subdivisions in Rochester, Minnesota, homes in Baihly Meadows—and the trees planted in front of them —are still relatively new. Roots haven't yet created cracks in the sidewalk, and kids can walk to the playground in Baihly Meadows Park, stage snowball fights in ½-acre backyards and Trick-or-Treat down streets with little through traffic on Halloween. The Mayo Clinic's Saint Mary's Campus, founded in the late 19th Century when the city's population was still in the low 5,000s, sits just over 2 miles from the neighborhood up Frontage Road. It's close enough for commuters to bike to work in the morning along Rochester's network of paved trails, and shopping centers with big box retailers like TJ Maxx are a 10-minute walk—½ mile—east past Baihly Meadows' landscaped lawns.
Traditional homes with grand entries
In Baihly Meadows, traditional styles characteristic of the late 1980s and '90s are dominant. Front stoops are accented by pillars and archways, and most homes have two-car—or even three-car—attached garages to protect from winter snow storms. Sale prices start in the low $400,000s and can sometimes surpass $600,000 for properties with recent upgrades. Basketball hoops stand in wide driveways, and front yards are carefully landscaped with trimmed shrubs.
Mayo Clinic and IBM partnerships at Mayo High School
Neighborhood kids can attend Bamber Valley Elementary School, which earns a B from Niche, starting in prekindergarten. In sixth grade, they move on to Willow Creek Middle, which has a C-plus, before finishing out their public school education at the A-minus-rated Mayo High. Upperclassmen can also seek research opportunities at the Mayo Clinic and receive honors credit for independent studies. Those interested in information technology can also partner with IBM (International Business Machines) through the school's P-TECH program.
Walk to grocery stores, big-box retail and buffets
For those living along streets like Baihly Hills Drive and Fox Valley Drive, it takes about 10 minutes to walk the ½ mile to Natural Grocers, a local chain known for its organic produce and health foods. Nearby, the combined TJ Maxx & HomeGoods sells everything from Christmas decorations to discounted clothes, and Star Ocean Buffet offers a wide variety of seafood next to casual wooden booths and an indoor koi pond. There's also a Trader Joe's nearby, and the Apache Mall has more than 100 retailers and restaurants, including Hollister, SEPHORA and American Eagle.
85 miles of trails throughout the city
Along with Baihly Meadows Park, the neighborhood is also bordered by Younge Park, which has a larger playground and onsite tennis courts. Withers Sports Complex to the south includes an outdoor ice rink. In the winter, skaters tighten their laces in the warming house before pick-up hockey games. Paved pathways connect the sports complex's soccer fields to the garden plots in Zumbro South Park. "We have an extensive parks and trail system that's very popular," says Kelly Evans, Office Coordinator at the city's Parks & Recreation Department, commenting on Rochester's 85-plus-mile paved network. "We have trails that connect throughout the entire city that's used all the time. There are walkers, bikers and runners. Anything you can think of," she says. Nearby, golfers can choose between memberships at the Rochester Golf & Country Club or reserving tee times at Soldiers Field Golf Course, found next to a recently-updated swimming pool and water park.
'Days of Yesteryear' and local artifacts at the History Center of Olmsted County
About a mile-and-a-half from Baihly Meadows, the History Center of Olmsted County has over 20,000 artifacts. "There's always lots of stuff about the history of the Mayo Clinic. That's a big part of the city, of course. People think it's Rochester, New York, but it's really us," says Education Director Valerie Wassmer. The exhibit hall is also home to over 100 "creepy dolls" donated by Olmsted County locals, and Wassmer says visitors can vote on "the creepiest doll of all" in October. In August, the Mechanical History Round Table puts together the "Days of Yesteryear" festival outside the Ralph Stoppel Farmstead. There are live broom-making and tractor demonstrations. Also on the grounds, stop by the one-room Hadley Valley Schoolhouse and a log cabin built by William Dee in the 1860s. Downtown Rochester has an active calendar of events sponsored by the Mayo Clinic. There's Thursdays Downton, an outdoor artisan market in the summer, and Peace Plaza is illuminated with twinkle lights during Social-ICE in the winter.
Limited parking downtown, an international airport, 90 miles to the Twin Cities
Parking is scarce in Downtown Rochester, and many hospital employees rely on the public bus system to commute. Stops line 16th Street near the Apache Mall, and, according to Coldwell Banker agent and long-time Rochester resident Hanan Absah, shuttles between hospital campuses are free for employees. There's also a network of skyways and subways around University Square, and walking between buildings in the wintertime means never stepping foot outside. U.S. Highway 63 leads to the Rochester International Airport, less than 10 miles away, and planes fly daily to Minneapolis/St. Paul and Chicago. From Baihly Meadows, it can take about an hour and a half to drive the 90 miles along Highway 52 into the Twin Cities.
