East Isles is a neighborhood within the larger Calhoun Isles community in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.
It lies between Hennepin Avenue to the east, Lake of the Isles to the west, West Lake Street to the south, and West 22nd Street to the north. Together with parts of Lowry Hill East and other nearby neighborhoods, East Isles is part of the larger, unofficial, Uptown neighborhood. It is mostly located in Ward 7, represented by council member Katie Cashman; A few blocks on the far south of the neighborhood are in Ward 10, represented by Aisha Chughtai.[3]
The neighborhood was originally a part of the more historically affluent neighborhoods around Lake of the Isles: Kenwood and Lowry Hill. However, since the 1940s, it has become more urbanized than the rest of the community, since numerous apartment buildings have been built in the area. Old mansions still can be found in the neighborhood.[4]
