Folwell Drive, located between 7th Street NW and 16th Street NW, is a residential and institutional Rochester neighborhood with a hillside street grid and a campus-edge calm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mayo Clinic Hospital – Methodist Campus along 2nd Street SW, where skyways, shuttles, and coffee counters set a steady weekday rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ramblers, tidy infill, and small apartment buildings tucked into mature trees. Sidewalks and short blocks connect to pocket parks and the Zumbro River corridor. The atmosphere reads practical and polished, shaped by hospital schedules and nearby civic spaces.
