Fountain Circle Townhomes

Located to the north and east of St. Paul, the northern St. Paul suburbs have a quieter feel than the busy and congested Minneapolis burbs. There's plenty of lakes and trees in this region-- including beautiful White Bear Lake-- and you don't have to go out far at all from the city to buy a home on a quiet, wooded lot. Here's the scoop on the northern suburbs of St. Paul.

Roseville/Falcon Heights. Located just north of St. Paul, these first ring suburbs house a combination of post-war ramblers, 1970s split levels, and posh new starter mansions. The southern portions of these towns blend seamlessly into St. Paul, while the northern parts are surprisingly rural. Roseville is home to Rosedale Shopping Center and every big-box store and chain restaurant you can imagine. Falcon Heights is home to the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus and the Minnesota State Fair. Roseville and Falcon Heights are great places to live if you want to be out of the city, but want to be able to get to downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul in under fifteen minutes.

Maplewood. Located south and east of St. Paul, Maplewood is also a first ring suburb with housing that varies from post-war rambler to affluent. About a third of the property in Maplewood is rental housing, and new townhomes galore dot the landscape these days. Because Maplewood is bracketed by a number of freeways, it's the home of many companies, including 3M, one of Minnesota's biggest employers.
