Kaposia Landing, an 87-acre riverfront park with nearly two miles of paved trails, sits about a mile from home, and commuters can reach employers such as 3M's global headquarters in Maplewood and Ecolab's downtown St. Paul offices with ease. The University of Minnesota and the rest of the Twin Cities job market are equally within reach.
