"Between the Light Rail and the River"
The main selling point for Howe is the local scenery dotted with green patches and waterfalls, with which pedestrian trails take full advantage. The neighborhood has little to offer in dining and shopping, but resident here prefer to keep such spots out for the sake of preserving the natural beauty of their surroundings rather than congest the streets with too many commercial spaces. Those who need those amenities, though, are just a hop and a skip form downtown and other business friendly communities with Hiawatha and Minnehaha Avenues. Howe School ad Dowling Elementary School are both close to the river, as is the Fairview Hiawatha Clinic.

"Residential Revival"
Even with these renovations the prices on the homes remain fairly moderate, with some of them closer to the scenic river gorge a little steeper in price. The parks along the river, the waterfalls, and the wooden walking trails through the beautiful scenery can’t help but make you think of what the original settlers might have thought about this enchanting part of the state. Howe isn’t a large retail or commercial neighborhood, but getting to work in other communities or Downtown is still fairly easy – the average commute is probably only around 20-30 minutes from the residential part of Howe.
The school, and in fact the neighborhood, were named about poet Julia Ward Howe who wrote The Battle Hymn of the Republic – one of those songs you instantly know if you hear it.
