4200 22nd Ave S

There’s a niche for everyone in the little community of Standish. Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur, ardent outdoorsman and cyclist, or concerned parent, the specialties of this neighborhood draw in a mix of residents almost as eclectic as the businesses and organizations that call it home.

With Minneapolis just five miles north, Standish is conveniently close to the hubbub of downtown; at the same time, Lake Hiawatha lies four blocks south, giving the neighborhood a well-earned feeling of being at the center of everything.

Active community involvement also deserves credit for this positive environment. Links between Standish and its southern neighbor, Ericsson, keep crime rates low, promote higher standards of public facilities, give area schools a city-wide reputation for excellence and connect families directly to local services.

With the light rail line passing through and drawing continual amenities and businesses, the scene here is anything but stagnant.
