West Side St Paul MN Real Estate

The neighborhood of West Side in St. Paul offers real estate in the area south of downtown, in close proximity to the Smith Avenue High Bridge and the Mississippi River.

The neighborhood is bordered to the north, east and west by the picturesque Mississippi River; to the south it is bordered by Annapolis Street. The neighborhood is certainly worth looking into.
