Discover the Greater East Side of St. Paul!
Nestled in the northeast corner of St. Paul, the Greater East Side, or District 2, is a vibrant area with a rich sense of community and diversity. Bounded by Larpenteur Avenue to the north, McKnight Road to the east, Minnehaha Avenue to the south, and Johnson Parkway and the historic Burlington Northern railroad berm to the west, this district is home to ten distinct neighborhoods.
Explore the unique character of neighborhoods like Beaver Lake Heights, East Phalen, Frost Lake, Hayden Heights, Hazel Park, Hillcrest, Lincoln Park, Parkway/Greenbrier, and Phalen Village. Each one offers its own slice of charm, whether it's the serene green spaces of Phalen Village, the friendly streets of Hazel Park, or the classic homes of Hillcrest.
From beautiful parks and lakes to a welcoming, close-knit community, the Greater East Side has something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to visit, move, or simply get to know a new part of town, this is an area with a lot to offer!
Come see what makes the Greater East Side of St. Paul such a special place to call home.
