. . . Housing Roseville was initially a bedroom community to St. Paul and Minneapolis. Today, Roseville offers more jobs than there are residents to fill them. Roseville was once almost all private homes but today rental apartments, rental townhouses, condominiums, individually owned townhouses, and mobile home lots are available within the City's boundaries. One of the City's Housing Redevelopment Authority's goals is to increase first time homeownership in the community especially as it relates to public service employees, including teachers. We've included information about several programs. If you are interested in housing assistance, including a new housing loan program to help the City attract and retain families with young children, call Cathy Bennett at 651-792-7072. City Roads Unless you are familiar with the layout of roads in Roseville, the map of the district and the addresses of the schools may be confusing. Contrary to most city house numbering systems, house numbers do NOT jump to the next hundred when you come to the end of a city block. The numbers just keep going until they get to the next hundred. Thus xOO and xOl are often not on the comer of the block, but might be in the middle of a block. Most arterial roads in the City are County Roads which divide the surveyed township into one mile square sections and quarter sections and are thus one-half mile apart. Larpenteur Avenue is the southern border of Roseville. It separates Roseville from St. Paul and at one time was known as County Road A. Roselawn Avenue (formerly County Road A-2) is one-half mile north of Larpenteur Avenue. Roselawn Avenue, County Road B, County Road B-2, County Road C, and County Road C-2 are one-half miles apart. County Road D is the northern border of Roseville. The eastern edge of the surveyed township of Roseville is Rice Street. Roseville City Map To help introduce you to Roseville, we've enclosed a City map. The back of the map lists financial institutions, places of worship, restaurants, shopping centers and other amenities located in Roseville. Government Offices The back of the City map lists various government offices in Roseville, including the Library and the Post Office. Medical Many medical and dental offices are scattered across the City, and major medical facilities are listed on the back of the map. In addition, several hospitals are within easy driving distance. . Children's Hospital is in St. Paul, west of the downtown, on Smith Avenue, between Fort Road (7th Street) and I-35E.
