Welcome to the East Harriet Neighborhood
East Harriet is bordered by 36th Street on the north and 46th Street to the south. Lyndale Avenue is the eastern boundary; Lake Harriet and Lakewood Cemetery largely make up the western border of the neighborhood. In addition to these Minneapolis landmarks, Lyndale Park Gardens and Rose Gardens, the Thomas Sadler Roberts Bird Sanctuary are located within East Harriet. Many houses in the neighborhood are two-story homes, set back from the streets.
Your feedback is needed! The East Harriet Farmstead Neighborhood Association (EHFNA) is looking for feedback about a summer event. For the past 2 years, we have hosted Porchfest. Due to changes, we are not sure if we will be able to have that event this year. Please take a moment to fill out this short survey about what you might like to see happen this summer.
