Como Park is anchored by its dynamic namesake green space. Como Regional Park is home to Como Park Zoo and Conservatory, the only free zoo in the nation. The park also has a golf course, sports fields, a small amusement park, and mini-golf. Lake Como on the eastern portion of the park offers paddleboat and kayak rentals. Adding even more entertainment options, Como Park is directly east of Lee and Rose Coliseum, the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, and part of the University of Minnesota’s east campus. This entertainment hub next to Como Park is also filled with bars and trendy eateries. Attracting even more renters, Como Park is near several shopping centers, including Rosedale Center, a large mall. Como Park residents enjoy having plenty of amenities not far from home, but for an even wider selection, Downtown Saint Paul is about four miles away via Highway 51 nearby. Although the park brings excitement, Como Park is still a quiet, residential area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
