Kenwood MPLS Lakes

Scenic parkways, mature trees, and architecturally distinguished homes.

Welcome to Kenwood

Kenwood is an affluent, historic neighborhood in Minneapolis, Minnesota, nestled between Lake of the Isles and Cedar Lake with scenic parkways, mature trees, and architecturally distinguished homes that range from Queen Anne and Victorian to Colonial Revival and bungalows. Its location within the Calhoun‑Isles area offers residents easy access to the city’s beloved Chain of Lakes, walking and biking paths, and a small, charming commercial district with local shops and eateries, all just a few miles from downtown Minneapolis.

Kenwood’s history dates back to about 1887, when it was first platted just outside the Minneapolis city limits and became accessible by rail along Cedar Lake, attracting early development as a scenic residential setting. The city’s acquisition and dredging of Lake of the Isles in the late 19th century helped transform the marshy shoreline into attractive parkland, encouraging the construction of elegant residences and parkways designed to showcase views of the lakes and skyline. Over the 20th century, Kenwood grew into one of Minneapolis’s most desirable neighborhoods, preserving many of its historic homes and landmarks—such as the iconic Kenwood Park Water Tower (built 1910)—while remaining a quiet, close‑knit community amidst urban amenities.
