Calhoun Isles Real Estate of Houses & Homes For Sale in Hennepin County, Minnesota RS

Calhoun-Isles:

The unique community of Calhoun-Isles is composed of several smaller neighborhoods within the Minneapolis city limits. This upscale region consists of residential neighborhoods and business areas situated around Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles, Lake Harriet and Cedar Lake. The lakes are connected both by water - via channels that pass under gracious curved bridges - and by land, providing a multitude of recreational opportunities. The many channels allow non-motorized boats, swimmers and windsurfers to travel from one lake to another quite easily, while bicyclists, joggers, walkers, and rollerbladers enjoy the extensive network of paths winding through the lush open space surrounding the lakes. In the winter, the lakes are cleared of snow for ice-skating and ice fishing. Cross-country skiing on the paths is another popular winter activity. The residential areas in Calhoun-Isles are Bryn Mawr, Cedar-Isles-Dean, East Isles, Kenwood, Lowry Hill, Lowry Hill East and West Calhoun. Kenwood, located between Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles and Cedar Lake, contains the largest concentration of upscale homes in Minneapolis and anchors a major American cultural center. Wonderful neighborhood business districts can be found in the various Calhoun-Isles areas and feature quaint shops and popular restaurants. The eclectic and colorful Uptown district is also located within Calhoun-Isles. This vibrant commercial and residential area is located southwest of downtown and east of Lake Calhoun in the CARAG (Calhoun Area Residents Action Group) area. More than 15,000 Uptown residents enjoy the district�s one-of-a-kind shops, retail stores, restaurants, coffee houses and theaters.
