Como
A cozy, small town in the big city.
Como is halfway between the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul and Minneapolis campuses. It’s also halfway between the two downtowns, with excellent bus connections to both. An intergenerational neighborhood with tree-lined streets, Como has a lot to offer.
Five reasons you’ll love Como
