Niche Reviews Niche logo

Bungalows and cottages sit side by side with older Victorians and neat brick apartment buildings in the neighborhood of Hamline-Midway, centrally located just a couple of miles west of downtown Saint Paul. Residents love how easily they can get around town, thanks to I-94 running at the south side of the neighborhood, the bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly streets, and the wealth of public transportation, including multiple bus lines and the Central Corridor Light Rail Line. Hamline University sits in the neighborhood, and half a dozen local parks help make Hamline-Midway family-friendly. The Hamline Midway Coalition brings neighbors together to hold garage sales, sponsor spring and fall festivals at local elementary schools, and plan neighborhood-wide events, such as Grounds and Sounds, which brings out local musicians to showcase their talents.

We moved to Hamline-Midway a little over a year ago. We have since found the best places to shop. We've met wonderful neighbors. The location is close to everything, yet far enough away to have a little small town feel. Freeway access is simple. We love our local market. The community is always there for you too.

It's a great community with quirky and original shops and restaurants. Neighbors are really well connected and the Facebook group for the neighborhood is a really useful tool as a resident. Crime has been an issue, however that comes with living in the middle of the city. The commute to either St.Paul or Minneapolis is great and the light rail has been a awesome public service.
