Welcome to Stevens Square-Loring Heights
The Steven Square-Loring Heights neighborhood, while just under a mile wide and only three blocks tall, is home to 4,000 residents, making it one of the densest areas in the region. Just south of downtown Minneapolis, SS-LH is surrounded by I-94 to the north, Interstate 35W to the east, Franklin Avenue to the south and Lyndale Avenue to the west.
