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.

Good neighborhood with decent dining and entertainment options. There are not a lot of good outdoor exe cerise opportunities but it is close to the light rail and biking paths.
