    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. Recent Zillow market trends show median asking rents hovering around the mid–$1,500s, with most listings spanning roughly the low $1,200s to the upper $1,900s depending on size and finishes. The vibe is friendly and relaxed, with many medical professionals, families, and outdoor lovers enjoying quiet streets and quick highway access.
