The midway between the Twin Cities
Hamline-Midway is where the Twin Cities meet. The neighborhood is named after its central location and Hamline University, Minnesota’s first university. Located about 7 miles from St. Paul and Minneapolis, this community has a lot to offer, with proximity to a wealth of amenities, both outdoors and in terms of local shops and eateries in the area. There’s a selection of classic homes including bungalows and foursquares that give the area a suburban feel, but residents are never far away from going to a trendy restaurant or local drinking spot along Snelling or University Avenue. The community is zoned to the St. Paul Public Schools district, and is also home to Hamline University, a private institution offering various undergraduate and graduate programs.

Traditional homes for great prices
Convenient commercial thoroughfares give way to residential streets with established homes, from laid-back bungalows to spacious American Foursquares. While the neighborhood is home to many two-story Victorian houses, there are many homes with a more modest feel than the distinctive architecture of Summit Hill and other historic St. Paul communities. “The homes face well-used sidewalks, and the streets often have bike paths or lanes along them,” says Mary Schumann, a Realtor with Keller Williams Integrity Realty. Home prices range from smaller bungalows for around $200,000 to fully renovated properties for up to $800,000. Thanks to alley-facing garages, “The public areas are cleaner looking, and the focus is on landscaping and lawns, not a car or garbage cans.” Schumann says, which also gives a "very private garden feel to backyards, which are generally fenced."
Victorian style homes sit on well-kept lawns.

Snelling Avenue
Residents can head down Snelling or University Avenue to find their new favorite restaurants in the community. Pho Pasteur is a popular Vietnamese restaurant known for its banh mi and boba tea. Fasika is also along Snelling Avenue, an Ethiopian hot spot. Don’t forget to check out Groundswell for a great cup of coffee and a vegan-friendly menu of baked goods and café items. It’s located on Thomas Avenue West a few blocks from Snelling Avenue, but worth the trip. At Turf Club, patrons can enjoy a rock performance and drinks in a laid-back establishment that has been hosting local and national musicians since the 1940s. Midway Marketplace is a great local place for basic shopping needs, from Cub Foods to T.J. Maxx, located right on University Avenue West.

Plenty of places for exercise
Hamline-Midway is dotted with local parks, making it easy for children to spend a few hours on the playground or for dog-walkers to get in their daily exercise. Residents looking for a more exciting recreation opportunity can head to Can Can Wonderland, a whimsically themed indoor mini-golf course surrounded by arcade games. The neighborhood isn’t far from Como Regional Park, a 450-acre Twin Cities destination featuring a local zoo, lakeside views and free fitness classes in the park. The Minnesota State Fairgrounds is also just north of Hamline-Midway, home of the statewide summertime fair full of 4H events and grandstand concerts. Allianz Field is also in the neighborhood, home to MLS club Minnesota United, also known as the Loons. “We have a lot of interest in soccer here, I think that Allianz packs pretty good crowds regularly,” Schumann says. “If you’re a soccer fan, then this is the place to live.”

We moved to Hamline-Midway a little over a year ago. We have since found the best places to shop. We've met wonderful neighbors. The location is close to everything, yet far enough away to have a little small town feel. Freeway access is simple. We love our local market. The community is always there for you too.

It's a great community with quirky and original shops and restaurants. Neighbors are really well connected and the Facebook group for the neighborhood is a really useful tool as a resident. Crime has been an issue, however that comes with living in the middle of the city. The commute to either St.Paul or Minneapolis is great and the light rail has been a awesome public service.
