Bryn Mawr is community-centric with access to lakes
Bryn Mawr, a residential neighborhood near the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes, can sometimes feel more like a small town because of its almost island-like presence in a sea of open green space and multiple bodies of water. While those natural buffers create a sense of separation from the larger city, they also foster a sense of tight-knit community within. The community often comes together for events, and people frequent restaurants and cafes like Cuppa Java, a local social hub. The area is a couple of miles from downtown and is zoned for a highly rated school district.
Bryn Mawr Meadows Park has sports fields and courts, playground areas and walking trails.

The neighborhood can feel like its own town
“It’s an eclectic urban neighborhood,” says Annie Child, an agent with Coldwell Banker Realty Minneapolis Lakes who lives in Bryn Mawr. “It’s got natural boundaries which make it function like a small town, in a way. It’s very neighborhood-centric, and people know each other.” Interstate 394 cuts through the area and curves northeast towards downtown, creating a boundary. On the other side, the community is bordered by Theodore Wirth Regional Park and Brownie Lake Park. The Bryn Mawr Neighborhood Association hosts events like garage sales and potluck dinners. It also publishes a free monthly newsletter, the Bryn Mawr Bugle, that keeps people informed of news that affects them.
