Macalester-Groveland pairs collegiate energy with classic Saint Paul character, where leafy streets meet lively blocks of independent cafés, bookstores, and eateries along Grand Avenue. Anchored by Saint Paul in the heart of Ramsey County, the neighborhood draws daily inspiration from two campuses: Macalester College and the University of St. Thomas. Cyclists and runners prize Mississippi River Boulevard’s scenic overlooks, while corner grocers, pocket parks, and year-round community programming make day-to-day living feel easy and connected.
Families value strong educational options. Neighborhood schools feed into Saint Paul Public Schools, and several acclaimed private choices are close by. Weekend routines often revolve around youth sports on city fields, a quiet hour at the local library, or a coffee meetup before browsing the latest home goods and vinyl on Grand.
Housing here showcases early- and mid-20th-century craftsmanship—from tidy bungalows and storybook Tudors to stately foursquares—often with front porches made for impromptu chats. You’re a quick hop to the river and minutes from adjacent enclaves like Highland Park, Summit Hill, and Merriam Park, each adding its own dining, parks, and cultural flair.
Whether you’re buying your first place near campus or selling a long-loved home on a tree-canopied block, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local real estate professional to make your move in Mac-Grove seamless.
