East Isles, Minneapolis Homes for Sale
East Isles Neighborhood Guide for Minneapolis Residents
Part of the sought-after Uptown district of Minneapolis, East Isles is an exceptional neighborhood with a great location, a strong sense of community and a gorgeous collection of homes. Spanning from the coast of Lake of the Isles to Hennepin Avenue between W. 22nd Street and W. Lake Street, residents can enjoy the some of the best amenities Minneapolis has to offer – plentiful outdoor recreation plus a close proximity to trendy restaurants and shops, a bustling nightlife, and a close-knit community feel.
A History of East Isles
Like much of the Calhoun Isles communities, East Isles began developing in the early 1900s as small suburbs of the quickly growing city of Minneapolis. Connections to streetcar lines allowed it to grow, and its close proximity to the Lake of the Isles prompted well-known architects to design gorgeous homes in the area.
Specifically, architects William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie designed both the Catherine Gray House and the Purcell-Cutts House. Both homes are classic examples of Prairie School architecture, and while the Catherine Gray house is a private residence, it has been renovated to restore its beautiful appearance with historic integrity. The Purcell-Cutts House has been donated to the Minneapolis Institute of Art and is open to the public as a museum.
Amenities for East Isles Residents
East Isles offers a rare blend of quiet, residential streets featuring spacious, restored homes with updated buildings that have been converted into condos that are ideal for those wanting to be in the center of Uptown action. The neighborhood is beautifully maintained and preserved and is one of the few that provides such a wide variety of real estate. Homes in this neighborhood range from compact studios that list under $100,000 to sprawling estates that list at well over $1 million.
