I love Longfellow this is an amazing neighborhood for new family's to grow and buy their first starter home. I enjoy the new resturants that are popping up in this neighborhood it is a fun creative atmosphere that seems to be growing. It is also very close to downtown which is a plus I can be in st. paul in 8 minutes or downtown Minneapolis in the same amount of time. I also love the community feel of this neighborhood.

Parking is available but mostly on side streets. There are buses that run all day and about every 10 minutes, they are mostly on time. There is also trains going through the city and passes every 10 minutes. traffic does get busy certain times throughout the day but for the most part it's average.
