Saint Paul Home - Things to Do

Saint Paul homes are right in reach of the Mighty Mississippi, one of the most important and historic rivers in the United States. Our real estate agents are adept at finding you the perfect home so you can enjoy everything the river has to offer – it's a truly astonishing local feature.

There's more than one way to enjoy the Mississippi, of course, but most people get started with a classic pastime: A paddleboat journey. Many different iconic crafts have navigated the Mississippi, from steamships to indigenous canoes, but a paddleboat stands out for pure enjoyment.

You'll find plenty of paddleboat vendors in the Saint Paul area. Some of them are seasonal, while others run year round. It's always best to choose an experienced crew with excellent online reviews.  If you're going on your first paddleboat ride on the Mississippi, you just can't go wrong with the Betsy Northrup paddleboat. Of all the ships that still ply the river, it's one of the most beloved.

There is, perhaps, no greater symbol of that fact than the Lowry Avenue Bridge.

Minneapolis Best Spots to Watch Fireworks

Counselor Realty agents always work hard for our clients interested in the best homes in Minneapolis. Of course, even the best real estate agents do take a day off now and again, and there's no better time to do that than during exciting 4th of July weekend in Minneapolis.

You already know that as one of the two Twin Cities, Minneapolis offers all the best in arts, culture, food, education, entertainment, and sports. To add even more fun and excitement to your time in this phenomenal city, you can enjoy some of the best fireworks displays in America.

Minneapolis is known for the Red, White, and Boom! display – the largest fireworks show in the state. You'll never forget this breathtaking display, and you can even participate in the annual "Hot Dam" Marathon to raise money for good causes throughout the Twin Cities.

Naturally, there are many amazing spots to see the fireworks up close and personal.
