Payne-Phalen
By Piché and Associates
Situated just to the north and east of downtown Saint Paul, the Payne Phalen neighborhood is rich in history, diversity and various styles of homes. The area has two commercial districts, Payne Avenue and Arcade Street, both experiencing a resurgence in retail and dining choices with Beacon Bluff anchoring a flourishing commercial and light industrial district. First settled by immigrants in the mid-1850s, the area has a wide range of housing styles from stately Italianate, Victorian and Bungalows. As the area’s population moved north toward Lake Phalen, these styles become a mix of Bungalow, Ramblers and newly built “traditional” homes.
To learn more about the history of the area read Historic Saint Paul’s “Tour Saint Paul: Payne Avenue“.
