The Metro Lofts
 


Your closest neighbors just moved in. Emerald Gardens is a new development of lofts and townhomes 1 block south. Graduate students, artists, young professionals. Also people in their forties, fifties, sixties too – people who have a life. Not into raking large lawns for hours. Dogs and cats may apply. It’s a neighborhood.

Neighbors to the West

  • Prospect Park – bragging rights to the oldest neighborhood association in the Twin Cities. Fierce about the environment, protecting the riverfront. Quite a few professors.
  • The city’s only Frank Lloyd Wright house. A house that’s bright blue. Independents.
  • The U of M
  • Cedar Riverside
  • Dinkytown and 7 Corners

Neighbors to the North

St. Anthony Park. People who banded together to restore a historic library with a dome. They hold an open art fair in the park every year. Next to U of M St. Paul campus and a seminary that looks like a giant park. Has a town square, a Scandanavian bakery and a Bibelot. No house is the same.
