Nature's Backyard in the City

The Atmosphere

Peaceful, Natural, Hidden

The ScoopThe Neighborhood Philosophy

Kenny feels different because of Grass Lake. It's quieter, slower, and feels more like a suburb than the rest of Minneapolis. The mid-century homes here have great layouts for modernizing.

The Grass Lake Mystery

Grass Lake was once much larger, but it was partially drained to create the park and the surrounding homes. The 'Floating' feel of the park is because of the deep peat beds beneath the soil.

The Partner Scoop

Kenny is a 'Right-Sizing' hotspot. As empty-nesters move out, they are leaving high-potential 1950s ramblers that are perfect for 'Pop-Top' additions (adding a second story).

Real Talk Warning

It's sleepy. If you want nightlife, you'll be driving to Uptown.
