Thomas-Dale is a historic neighborhood in the heart of St. Paul, Minnesota’s capital city. Located north and west of Downtown, Thomas-Dale has easy access to all of St. Paul’s educational, recreational, cultural and economic amenities. As a whole, the riverfront city fosters a complex lifestyle that can be almost anything you want it to be. If you prefer strolling the banks of the Mississippi River, dancing the night away, photographing historic architecture, cheering on your favorite sports teams, it’s all available to you in St. Paul. The Thomas-Dale neighborhood, called Frogtown by the locals, is bordered by Burlington Northern Railroad on the north, Interstate 35E on the east, University Avenue on the south and Lexington Parkway on the west. While this is a decidedly urban part of the city, it still contains a large number of detached, single-family homes with fenced yards. Much of the development in Thomas-Dale occurred between 1860 and 1940. As such, there are many historically and architecturally significant buildings — homes, churches and schools — which provide the neighborhood with its own brand of charm. The selection of historic properties is balanced by a recent increase in residential development; home seekers can therefore find fixers and renovated homes as well as new construction. Thomas-Dale’s main commercial area is located along University Avenue.
