Established in 1978, the Southeast Community Organization is the official neighborhood organization for District 1 - which includes four southeast neighborhoods in St. Paul, MN -- Eastview, Conway, Battle Creek, and Highwood. These neighborhoods are predominantly residential communities that vary widely economically, geographically, and culturally.
It is the site of both single-family homes and high density apartment complexes. Beautiful parks overlook the Mississippi River and Pig's Eye Lake, and nestle into 1960s-era neighborhoods. The area's riverfront is part of Saint Paul's working river.
100% of our services benefit these residents, as well as other eastside and citywide St. Paul residents. Our work includes community decision-making around land use and the environment to housing justice, transportation, youth education and safety. This occurs through a community board of directors, events, relationship building and leadership development.
