Kenwood is a neighborhood within the Calhoun-Isles community in Minneapolis along Lake of the Isles and Cedar Lake. The neighborhood is one of the most affluent in the city along with the nearby Lowry Hill neighborhood. The Kenwood neighborhood's most notable feature is the many historic mansions along the parkways overlooking the lake and the downtown skyline.[3]

The neighborhood was established in the late 1880s, when a rail line running along Cedar Lake to the west of the neighborhood provided increased access.[4]

Its boundaries are Cedar Lake Parkway to the west, Kenwood Parkway to the north, West Lake of the Isles Parkway to the east, and Kenilworth Place to the south. It is in Ward 7, represented by council member Katie Cashman.[5]
