St Paul - Town and Country Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Minnesota

Town & Country is an historic, landmark country club located at the western edge of St. Paul, Minnesota. The residential streets surrounding the club feature ornate, high-end housing with fabulous views of the Mississippi River. Real estate options consist of detached, single-family homes, a few apartments and condominiums. A sprinkling of historic homes and classic architecture gives Town & Country a distinctive appeal. In short, it is an upscale, fashionable, family-oriented neighborhood. The country club itself is the oldest in the state, having opened its doors in the 1890s. Back in those days, Town & Country was a distant suburb of the city. Today, the neighborhood maintains that suburban feel, even though ongoing development has pushed it right into the center of the Twin Cities Metro. Neighborhood activities include shopping in the boutique districts on Selby, Cretin and Cleveland Avenues, playing sports at the Merriam Park Recreation Center, walking the trails on the bluffs of the Mississippi and, of course, playing golf and tennis at the club. Town & Country offers youth golf, tennis and swimming programs, plus a classic, private golfing experience for adults. Schools in the vicinity of Town & Country include the University of St. Thomas, Concordia University and Central High School. Central High School, a part of the St. Paul Public Schools system, is the state’s oldest continuously operating school. Central offers two notable programs, one for gifted students and another focused on the performing arts.
