Crossroads - b06

Como and St. Anthony Park span the Saint Paul–Falcon Heights area, with the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus and Como Park lending the surroundings a leafy, campus-edge character. Winters are cold and snowy, while summers bring warm days for time outdoors. Como Park features a lake, conservatory, zoo, gardens, trails and playgrounds; nearby greenways and paths offer room for walking and cycling. St. Anthony Park’s compact commercial center has cafés, restaurants and independent shops, while Como Avenue and nearby University Avenue add more dining and everyday conveniences. Local history shows in the area’s established streets and long-standing campus presence, and neighborhood gathering spots and cultural venues provide low-key arts and evening options. Bus service and bike routes connect the neighborhoods with central Saint Paul and Minneapolis, though many errands are easiest on foot near the village center.
