MARCH MADNESS: WHICH HOT WEST SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD ARE YOU?

Choosing the right neighborhood is kind of like picking your NCAA bracket—there are stats to consider, local legends to admire, and a little bit of luck involved. Whether you’re a brunch enthusiast, an outdoor adventurer, or someone who just wants a friendly wave from the neighbors (but not too friendly), our March Madness: Which Hot West Side Neighborhood Are You? flowchart is here to help! And if none of these are your match—maybe you just really belong in St. Paul.


FINDING YOUR PERFECT MATCH

Are you drawn to the lively charm of Linden Hills, where boutique shopping and coffee culture thrive? Or does the peaceful, tucked-away feel of Browndale Park speak to your soul? Maybe you belong in Arden Park, perfect for those who believe life is best lived near a golf course.

No matter your vibe, the west side has a neighborhood for you. Do you crave tree-lined streets and a “Hallmark movie” aesthetic? That’s Fulton, Minneapolis. Prefer a mix of urban convenience and residential charm? Lynnhurst has you covered. And for those who love a friendly, tight-knit community with a side of history, Morningside is calling your name.


HOW TO USE THE FLOWCHART

Simply start at the top and follow the questions—your answers will lead you straight to the neighborhood that best fits your personality and lifestyle. Are you an early-morning jogger who somehow still knows where all the best happy hours are? Or do you belong in a place where every block feels like a summer block party waiting to happen? The flowchart will tell all.

So, take the quiz, find your match, and get ready to fall in love with the neighborhood that suits you best. And hey, if your result surprises you, maybe it’s time for a little house-hunting adventure. Happy exploring!
