Saint Paul, the head of navigation of the great Mississippi River, is a City of neighborhoods. Like a network of urban villages, our neighborhoods are strong and stable, each with its own fascinating texture of historic interest, cultural landmarks, ethnic heritage and time-honored traditions.

Our commitment to not only preserving but growing this sense of the urban village is exemplified by our continuing development of Downtown. Now one of our most desirable neighborhoods, the City’s core is thriving, not just as a place to work, but as a place to live, learn, and spend leisure time.
