Summit-University Neighborhood News and Events

The Summit University neighborhood is ethnically and economically diverse—home to new arrivals from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia; the Rondo neighborhood which served as the center of Saint Paul’s African-American community until the construction of I-94 in the 1960s; and historic and upscale Ramsey/Cathedral Hill area. 

The neighborhood is close to downtown, has great transit service and free-way access, and is very easy to walk and bike aroundWell preserved homes and buildings from the late 1800s abound in the neighborhood, with landmarks around every corner.  There are a number of retail areas in the district—Selby Avenue, with its shops, gathering spots, and destination dining is probably the most well-known.

By Mary Turck, TC Daily Planet
