    "It’s not bad there’s many ways to get to a destination and I like that. The commute to downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul are around the same actually Minneapolis is longer but I enjoy the time spend to do what I want."

    "6 blocks to Summit Ave & Grand Ave + 8-9 blocks to Cathedral Hill make this an area with lots to do. The area has arguably the best public schools in the city, perhaps even the Twin Cities & still has awesome old homes oozing with character at bargain prices. This area was bad news at one time but has now been gentrified. Take crime stats for Summit-U with a grain of salt as 80% of the crime happens in the 20% of Summit-U North of interstate 94, which is it's own separate world. Subtract that crime ridden area (again, separated by the freeway) & you have a neighborhood full of affordable classic homes for families, awesome parks, A-1 schools, easy freeway access, right in the heart of St Paul's trendiest shopping/food districts, only a mile or so from downtown St Paul & just a short jump on I94 to downtown Mpls."
