Facts and practical information

East Isles is a neighborhood within the larger Calhoun-Isles community in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The neighborhood was originally a part of the more historically affluent neighborhoods around Lake of the Isles: Kenwood and Lowry Hill.

But, old mansions still can be found hidden in the neighborhood. ()
