Highland Park

Highland Park Real Estate | St. Paul

Highland Park is a well-established neighborhood in southwest St. Paul, known for its strong sense of community, walkable pockets, and proximity to the Mississippi River. Located near Ford Parkway, Cleveland Avenue, and Snelling Avenue, Highland Park offers easy access to downtown St. Paul, Minneapolis, the airport, and everyday amenities.

The neighborhood features a diverse mix of housing styles, including classic mid-century ramblers, Tudors, Cape Cods, larger two-story homes, and a growing number of updated and expanded properties. Because the housing stock varies widely by block, lot size, and level of updates, values can differ significantly even within the same area.

For buyers, Highland Park often appeals to those looking for established neighborhoods with character, mature trees, and access to parks, schools, and local shops. Many buyers compare homes here based on layout, renovation potential, and long-term livability rather than focusing solely on square footage or age.

For sellers, homes in Highland Park are typically evaluated alongside nearby Macalester-Groveland and other comparable St. Paul neighborhoods. Buyers tend to be knowledgeable and selective, which makes thoughtful pricing, clear positioning, and strong presentation important for attracting the right audience.

With our office located in Highland Park, our Team works throughout the area regularly and helps buyers and sellers understand how individual homes fit within the neighborhood and the broader St. Paul market. We’re always happy to be a resource, whether you’re preparing to make a move or simply want local insight.

  • Pricing is usually based on recent neighborhood sales, the home’s condition, and how it compares to nearby areas like Macalester-Groveland. Because buyers here tend to be informed and selective, accurate pricing and thoughtful positioning matter.
