About Minneapolis New Homes Directory

Drawing comparisons between Minneapolis and St. Paul is a difficult task. St. Paul has a slightly reserved, antique feel about it; Minneapolis is hipper, noisier, and busier. Both cities have tall, gleaming glass skylines; St. Paul's is designed to blend with the city's Art Deco and Victorian architecture, while Minneapolis's is more eclectic. St. Paul has preserved much of its architectural heritage, while most of downtown Minneapolis is new. Both cities straddle the Mississippi River, and riverboat traffic calls at the Twin Cities from as far away as New Orleans.

When driving through the Twin Cities, it's sometimes hard to discern which city you are actually in. There is no visible dividing line; the cities really do blend into one another. Despite this, some say that the differences are vast. St. Paul is a bit smaller than Minneapolis, lending it more of a hometown feel. Minneapolis is considered more cosmopolitan, and is certainly larger. Some people from St. Paul may say that Minneapolis is a den of vice, whereas people from Minneapolis may think of St. Paul as being too quiet, with its empty nighttime sidewalks.
