West Saint Paul earned its name not from geography but from history — it once sat across the river from Saint Paul on the west bank of the Mississippi, and the name stuck. Tucked into Dakota County, this compact city covers just six square miles yet packs in a surprising amount of green space, from Garlough Park and Marthaler Park to the sprawling Thompson County Park. The Dodge Nature Center draws outdoor enthusiasts year-round, while Lilydale/Harriet Island Regional Park sits just minutes away along the riverfront.
South Robert Street anchors daily life with grocery stores, shops, and dining, and downtown Saint Paul is practically a neighbor, making it easy to tap into the bigger city's museums, arts scene, and entertainment.
The rental market here offers solid variety, with traditional apartment communities, townhomes, and garden-style buildings spread throughout walkable stretches of the city.

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.
