Community spirit sounds from the parks to the theatres
Come for the waterfall, stay for the community. Hiawatha is a residential neighborhood set alongside the Mississippi River. It’s just north of Minnehaha Regional Park, home to the falls celebrated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in “The Song of Hiawatha.” Stepping into Hiawatha feels like stepping back in time, with Craftsman bungalows and tidy lawns lining streets shaded by mature elms. But nestled between the vintage vibes, you'll find a vibrant, modern energy. Local cafes bust out artisanal lattes, while the nearby Riverview Theater screens indie flicks and hosts live music. Come winter, Lake Hiawatha Park transforms into a wonderland of cross-country skiers and ice skaters. But Hiawatha's heart beats loudest in its community spirit. Neighbors gather for block parties and volunteer at the Hiawatha Learning Center.
