South Uptown is a vibrant community
The South Uptown neighborhood is bounded by W. Lake Street to the north, W. 36th Street on the south, Hennepin Avenue to the west, and Lyndale Avenue on the east. The neighborhood is located within the Uptown area of southwest Minneapolis.
South Uptown has a population of more than 6,000 residents of which more than 70% are renters. The neighborhood includes a wide range of apartments, condos, and single family homes, as well as a mix of local businesses in the Uptown, Lyn-Lake, and 36th & Bryant commercial areas. South Uptown neighbors love our walkable, tree-lined streets with easy access to Bryant Square Park, the lakes, Midtown Greenway, and downtown Minneapolis.
In 2021 South Uptown created a new Strategic Plan to guide our work. The guiding principles of the document are Safety, Equity and Community stemming from the organization’s Mission Statement. View the Strategic Plan here and let us know if you want to get involved in our work.
