    Set on Rochester’s southwest bluffs and along the Zumbro River, 55902 blends historic charm with everyday convenience and four true seasons—snowy winters for cozy indoor gatherings, vibrant springs, warm summers on riverfront trails, and colorful falls. You’ll find the Pill Hill historic district, Mayowood Mansion, and the Plummer House, plus easy access to downtown and the Mayo Clinic campus, Apache Mall shopping, Hy-Vee and People’s Food Co-op, local coffee staples like Cafe Steam and Fiddlehead, and date-night favorites such as Terza and Pescara. Soldiers Field Park and its golf course anchor plentiful green space, with biking and walking on the Zumbro River and Bear Creek trails; pups and strollers are a common sight. Studios and gyms cluster along South Broadway, and weekends bring farmers markets, gallery events, and low-key live music.
