About the Highland Place / Highland Park Area, Faribault Area
Tucked on Faribault’s quiet north side just off St. Paul Avenue, the Highland Place area feels like a classic, established neighborhood where tree-lined streets and well-kept yards are the norm. You’re about 50 minutes south of downtown Minneapolis via I-35, but daily life here is centered around Faribault’s close-knit, small-town energy and easy access to schools, parks, and local shops. It’s the kind of pocket where neighbors wave from the driveway and kids still ride bikes around the block.

Older students typically attend Faribault Middle School and Faribault High School, both on the east side of town along 9th Avenue SW and 9th Street SW. Bethlehem Academy, a well-regarded private Catholic school serving grades 6–12, is also within a short drive near downtown Faribault. Families appreciate that most school runs can be handled in under 10 minutes, even on busy mornings.
Parks & Recreation — The neighborhood is well-positioned for getting outside, with Highland Park just down the hill offering ballfields, open green space, and room to stretch your legs. Teepee Tonka Park along the Straight River is a quick drive and popular for its walking paths, river views, and access to the Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail. For bigger outings, Shattuck-St. Mary’s campus to the southeast has scenic grounds, and River Bend Nature Center on the south side of town offers miles of wooded trails, prairie, and year-round nature programs. In summer, residents often head over to North Alexander Park and the Faribault Family Aquatic Center for playgrounds, ballfields, and swimming.
