Your neighborhood on the lakes

Lakes Swimming Green Space Walking Trails Boating Family-Friendly

To call Cedar-Isles-Dean a "lakefront" community wouldn't do it justice -- the neighborhood touches three major lakes: Cedar Lake (which extends well into the neighborhood), Lake of the Isles, and Lake Calhoun. The lakes offer a variety of parks, boat launches, and walking trails, such as the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail, Kenilworth Trail, the Midtown Greenway, and the Grand Rounds National Byway. The neighborhood even has a park for your pet -- the Lake of the Isles Dog Park -- and a swimming beach -- the Lake Calhoun North Beach.

Cedar-Isles-Dean, one of Minneapolis' most affluent communities, takes its name from two of the major lakes and Dean Parkway, which extends through the center of the neighborhood. The Cedar-Isles-Dean Neighborhood Association, or CIDNA, organizes a variety of community events, including a fall festival, held in October at Park Siding Park. While mainly residential, the neighborhood has a large shopping and dining area along West Lake Street that includes a Whole Foods Market, restaurants, and specialty stores.
