Modest homes and a hard-working community define this Minnesota suburb
Homes in St. Paul, Minnesota's highly residential North End tell part of its history of hard-working citizens. Featuring a neatly laid network of wide streets, with modest homes nestled among towering trees, this is where explorers, traders, missionaries, farmers and merchants settled and worked. North End is bisected by Rice Street, one of Minnesota’s oldest streets and a former streetcar route. This main commercial corridor runs south toward the Minnesota State Capitol building – creating a dazzling skyline view. With a large nature sanctuary, multiple athletic fields and magnet and creative arts schools, North End residents enjoy a relaxed neighborhood vibe with historic touches just a few miles from downtown St. Paul. “I really don’t want to say it, but it’s kind of boring,” says Anthony Dew, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Integrity Realty Lakes. “It’s a good place to live and a quiet place to raise a family.”

Parks and natural areas provide residents with habitat species
North End residents have access to spectacular natural areas and parks. Willow Reserve’s over 20 acres of undeveloped land is a critical stopover for birds migrating along the Mississippi River Flyway. Community members maintain the reserve. Heading south across Maryland Avenue, Marydale Park has more than 20 acres of green space and fishing access from the bridge on Loeb Lake. The Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary spans more than 40 acres and is accessible near the intersection of Maryland Avenue and Jackson Street. Set in a shallow valley, the stream was once pumped underground to make room for a railroad bed. With the railroad long gone, the nature sanctuary has been restored to its former glory, showing off a meandering streambed and beautiful wetlands.
