I don’t believe the pandemic has ended but many people do and that has been good for downtown St. Paul which was a ghost town during the summer of 2020.
There are or were 55K downtown workers. Many are back downtown working again which means there are people out on the streets and in the skyways and restaurants and coffee shops are open too.
There are concerts again and Minnesota Wild games and Baseball too. There are plays at the Ordway and events at the Union Depot. The Saint Paul Farmer’s market is open every weekend.
More than 10,000 people live downtown too. There are definitely opportunities for home ownership downtown and this might be a better time to buy as prices have leveled off and are likely to start rising again.
Right now there 61 condos on the market downtown starting at 105K and going up to 1.6 million.
Downtown is best explored on foot either outside or through the skyways. St. Paul’s skyway system links 47 city blocks and covers five miles, making it one of the largest systems in the world, which makes downtown the most walkable neighborhood in St. Paul.
