Overall, I am a big fan of living in the neighborhood. I would like to continue to see more mom and pop shops come up around. I adore how walkable my neighborhood is, and how everyone is outside walking when the weather is nice. Its really a special place to be in Saint Paul.

I've lived in Macalester-Groveland for awhile now and really enjoy it. The people have been friendly, it's in the center of the metro so a short trip to everything, and it has this relaxed tree-lined college-town feel that's cool for a city neighborhood. The neighbors on my street are a mix of blue-collar and white-collar, and I think overall the area has a bit less pretentious vibe than Highland or Summit.

I feel so safe in this neighborhood. I am a single woman in my 30's so safety is important to me. There are so many nice restaurants to choose from. Explore the neighborhood and you will find many quaint little shops around that sell beautiful hand crafted items
