Payne-Phalen… charming, quiet, affordable St. Paul neighborhood

phalen3

When I first discovered the Payne-Phalen neighborhood nearly 20 years ago I was struck by what a hidden gem this neighborhood is… charming, quiet, affordable, and only 10 minutes to downtown St. Paul.

I have a new listing coming on the market on Montana Avenue East in this neighborhood, and the seller describes it this way…

  • A very quiet neighborhood
  • Minimal crime
  • Friendly neighbors
  • Close to Lake Phalen Golf Course and regional park
  • Beautiful to walk around in the summertime
  • Close to interconnecting bike trails, including an access point to the Gateway State Trail leading all the way to Stillwater
  • Easy access to I-35E, I-94, Highway 61, and Highway 36
  • Close to downtown Saint Paul, Costco, Maplewood Mall, Oakdale Cinema and Roseville Mall

Don’t overlook this Phalen neighborhood for charm, convenience and affordability.
