Kenny. Tucked into the southwest edge of Minneapolis and brushing up against Edina, this neighborhood blends peaceful, well-kept blocks with easy city access. Daily life revolves around the small-business nodes along Lyndale and Penn avenues, where coffee, casual eats, and essential services are a quick stroll away. Commuters appreciate straightforward connections to Crosstown Highway 62 and I-35W, while cyclists and walkers enjoy a remarkably flat, sidewalk-rich grid.
Green space is a point of pride. At the heart of the neighborhood, Kenny Park anchors community life with ballfields, courts, a playground, and seasonal ice rink programming through the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board. Explore the trails and wildlife around Grass Lake for a dose of nature without leaving the city. Weekend plans often include a short ride to Lake Harriet and the Chain of Lakes, but many residents find they don’t need to go far—Kenny’s parks and tree canopy make staying close feel just right.
Families value strong school connections. Kenny Community School serves elementary learners, and nearby Anthony Middle School continues the path within Minneapolis Public Schools. Community-driven events and neighborhood advocacy are active through the Kenny Neighborhood Organization, which helps keep streets safe, parks lively, and neighbors connected.
