Kenwood

Welcome to Kenwood

Kenwood is one of Minneapolis’s most distinguished residential neighborhoods, set between Lake of the Isles, Cedar Lake, and Kenwood Park just a few miles from downtown. Tree-lined parkways, curving streets, mature landscaping, and direct access to the Chain of Lakes give the neighborhood a secluded, park-like character within the city.

Much of Kenwood’s architectural character comes from residences built during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The neighborhood includes stately historic homes, architecturally significant properties, thoughtfully renovated residences, and a limited selection of newer homes. Properties overlooking Lake of the Isles and those situated along Kenwood Parkway are among the area’s most recognizable.

Living in Kenwood

Lake of the Isles provides walking and biking paths, paddling, seasonal recreation, and connections to the broader Minneapolis Chain of Lakes. Kenwood Park adds nearly 33 acres of green space, along with public tennis courts, athletic fields, a playground, walking paths, and a neighborhood recreation center.

When comparing Kenwood homes, architectural integrity, renovation quality, lot position, privacy, and proximity to the lakes can all influence buyer interest and property value. The neighborhood’s limited housing supply and distinctive properties make local market knowledge especially important.
