East Harriet is what happens when a neighborhood gets everything right! You've got Lake Harriet to the west, Lyndale Avenue to the east, and a housing stock that's almost entirely charming and appreciating. The Farmers Market at Kingfield is close, the Rose Garden is in your backyard, and the Bandshell comes alive on summer evenings! It's quieter than Uptown, more established than Kingfield, and just as desirable as any lake-adjacent neighborhood in the city. East Harriet is for people who've done their homework.
You get the Rose Garden and the Bird Retreat as your front yard. It's quieter than the Uptown side of the lake but just as accessible.
