The Neighborhood:
Dayton's Bluff is a neighborhood with real character — historic homes, diverse food, and some of the most dramatic natural scenery in the city. A few highlights:
Wicaḣapi — one of the most remarkable parks in the Twin Cities, sitting atop the bluff just above the neighborhood. Home to six ancient Dakota burial mounds up to 2,500 years old, a restored 1929 airway beacon, and sweeping views of the Mississippi River and downtown St. Paul skyline. A genuinely one-of-a-kind place to take a walk
Storehouse Coffee & Grocers — a beloved neighborhood coffee bar and specialty micro-grocer on East 7th, where all profits go toward fighting food insecurity on the East Side. Great coffee with a great mission
Dayton's Bluff Recreation Center — a full-service community rec center with a fitness center, gym, youth programs, after-school activities, and event space, all just around the corner
St. Paul Saloon — a neighborhood sports bar and gathering spot on Hudson Rd with a welcoming, community-first vibe and great customer service
Downtown St. Paul — just minutes away via I-94, putting Xcel Energy Center, the Ordway, the Science Museum, and all of downtown within easy reach
And with I-94 right at your doorstep, commuting anywhere in the metro — Minneapolis, the airport, or beyond — is genuinely easy.
