Extending east from the Mississippi River to Summit Hill, the  Macalester-Groveland  community is just a short drive from  Downtown St. Paul . The Summit Avenue Historic District is settled in this community, where the picturesque streets are lined by magnificent mansions, including the Minnesota Governor’s Residence. Grand Avenue is another popular area that runs through the heart of this community. It boasts many popular coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques, and is the site of Grand Old Days, an annual summer festival.
