[DEV] Live Minneapolis - Saint Paul

For a small neighborhood Saint Anthony East has access to a large amount of public space, including Community Commons Park, Logan Park, and St. Anthony Park. We have convenient public transportation as the number 10 busline runs along our eastern edge on Central Avenue, route 17 runs through the middle of the neighborhood on Monroe St., and we are within a short walk from many others.

In addition to easy public and auto transportation, the 3rd Avenue Bikeway runs near our southern border, connecting to the Boom Island Park Trails, Father Hennepin Bluffs Trail, Heritage Trail, and the soon to be built 5th Street bikeway. While no longer used as a school, the Webster School facility is used for neighborhood meetings, hosts community events, and continues to be a wonderful resource for the neighborhood.

History

The people of St. Anthony convinced the state legislature to incorporate their little village as a city, and they received their town charter in 1855. When Minneapolis’ milling industry and population began to surpass that of Saint Anthony, it merged with its larger neighbor in 1872. St. Anthony East is a neighborhood where the old city of St. Anthony is remembered quite well and residents take pride in living in the oldest, and what to them is the best, part of the city.

Housing Styles and Types

Most of the homes in St. Anthony East were built between 1900 and 1930 and many are in the Craftsman Foursquare, Colonial, and Bungalow style. Newer single-family homes as well as townhomes make up the southern border along 3rd Avenue as this land was once cleared for a proposed freeway.
