East Isles sits along the south shore of Lake of the Isles, with tree-lined streets, residential blocks, and easy access to the Chain of Lakes.

The Lake of the Isles path is popular for walking, running, and biking, while nearby parks offer open space and outdoor recreation. Local cafés and restaurants line nearby Hennepin Avenue, and Uptown adds more dining, shopping, arts, and nightlife options. The area’s historic homes and early-20th-century streetscape give it a distinctive feel. Walking and biking are convenient for nearby destinations; buses and connections to central Minneapolis provide other ways to get around. East Isles’ median rent is $1,225 per month, with a typical range of $875 to $1,923, based on 27 active listings.
