Despite a similar name, St. Paul’s Lowertown is different from downtown in both location and character. While most residents know Downtown St. Paul as the entertainment hub of the city, Lowertown — its neighbor to the east — is developing a unique identity all its own.
Art galleries, restaurants, and local businesses are setting up shop in the warehouses and factories that put St. Paul on the map in the 20th century. Mears Park and the greenway along the Mississippi River provide much-need recreation space in this growing city. Residents of Lowertown enjoy a booming nightlife scene, as well as short commute times thanks to the interstates around the 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.

Property Ratings at Parkside Apartments
I've enjoyed the area and the building. Nothing extravagant but an okay place to live. The highlight of my stay was the smoke detector going off every minute beginning at 3 am due to a low battery. Because the ceilings are so high, it is next to impossible to reset without a ladder. After 12 hours and 3 phone calls to the emergency maintenance line, I was informed that this falls within the category of issues that will be addressed within 48 hours. Awesome, I'm losing my mind
This is the ideal location in Lowertown. My building is situated just off Mears Park, a block from the Light Rail, two blocks from the St. Paul Farmer's Market and the phenomenal CHS Field. It is surrounded with restaurants, and the art community, and offers access to concerts in the park, and the St. Paul Art Crawl. My apartment offers high ceilings and 9' window heights which allow light to flood the rooms. When you walk through the door, you have a clear view to the other end of the apartment, and the upgrades in the kitchen allow an open concept to the dining area. The building manages to maintains its original charm.
The Parkside is in an ideal neighborhood for urban pet owners. The neighborhood has a lot to offer for eating, drinking and entertainment but it is usually not overly bustling. The Farmer's Market provides excellent weekend shopping. Mears Park, the light rail and CHS Field are just steps away. The units are modern and comfortable with high ceilings and unique wooden pillars. There is excellent service from management and maintenance. The only downfall is too much carpet in the units. The Parkside is truly a great value apartment in an up and coming neighborhood.
