Located just 10 minutes from both downtown Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Falcon Heights is home of the Minnesota State Fair, with two million visitors a year, and the University of Minnesota Saint Paul Campus, whose wide open agricultural fields give our community a rural feel in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The city occupies 2.28 square miles, and residents appreciate the tree-lined neighborhoods.
