Prospect Park is a historic neighborhood within the University community of the U.S. city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The area is bounded by theMississippi River to the south, the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota to the east, the Burlington Northern railroad yard to the north, and the Stadium Village commercial district of the University of Minnesota to the west. The neighborhood is composed of several districts which include the East River Road area.
An urban village once served by streetcar, Prospect Park is now a combination of multiple districts and uses. Families live in single-family homes onTower Hill while University students reside in apartment housing in the western districts. Estate homes of the early to mid 20th century line East River Road. The South East Industrial Area (SEMI) in the north contains light manufacturing, rail yards and remnant grain silos. University Avenue houses a mix of retail and restaurant businesses from the Stadium Village area.
