St. Louis Park is a community of about 45,000 residents just west of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Many of the city's trails connect directly to downtown Minneapolis for convenient access to all the best urban highlights. Despite its proximity to the city, St. Louis Park offers ample green space among its 51 parks, giving it a distinctly suburban feel. This is a particularly desirable community for young families, having earned the distinction of being on America's Promise Alliance's list of the "100 Best Communities for Young People" for six consecutive years.
