The Neighborhood:
Summit Hill is one of Saint Paul's crown jewel neighborhoods a tree-lined, historically rich community anchored by Grand Avenue and bordered by one of the most spectacular residential streets in America. Here's what's right outside your door:
Grand Avenue one block away and one of the Twin Cities' best shopping and dining corridors, stretching 25 blocks through the heart of Summit Hill. Boutique shops, independent restaurants, wine bars, bakeries, and neighborhood staples that have been part of this community for decades. A genuinely wonderful street to spend an afternoon on
Hyacinth a tiny, James Beard Award-winning Italian restaurant right on Grand Ave, serving handmade pasta and Italian-inspired small plates in an intimate space that punches far above its size. Reservations essential and worth every effort to get one
Colossal Cafe a beloved made-from-scratch breakfast and lunch cafe right on Grand Ave, open daily from 7am. Fluffy pancakes, Scandinavian frittata, shakshuka, scratch-made biscuits, and rotating daily scone specials. The kind of cafe that becomes part of your weekly routine without you even realizing it
Summit Avenue steps from your front door and one of the most remarkable residential streets in America. Five miles of Victorian-era mansions, including the James J. Hill House (open for tours year-round), F. Scott Fitzgerald's childhood home, and the Minnesota Governor's Residence, all lined up along a boulevard that feels more like a European capital than a Midwestern city
Saint Paul Farmers Market the longest-running farmers market in Minnesota, operating since 1854. The downtown Lowertown location is open Saturdays and Sundays year-round, with locally grown produce, baked goods, cheese, meat, honey, flowers, and more all sold directly from grower to consumer. A genuine St. Paul institution
Macalester College one of the country's top liberal arts colleges just minutes away, bringing a wonderful energy, arts programming, and community events to the neighborhood year-round
And with multiple bus routes nearby and easy access to I-35E, getting anywhere in the metro is straightforward.
