    Anchored by Uptown around Lake and Hennepin, 55408 blends lake-life energy with creative, urban comfort. Residents stroll to Bde Maka Ska and Lake of the Isles for paths, paddling, and sunset loops, then hop onto the Midtown Greenway for fast east–west biking. The scene leans eclectic: Bryant-Lake Bowl & Theater, Jungle Theater, and the revived Uptown Theatre fuel the arts, while World Street Kitchen, Barbette, LynLake Brewery, and coffee staples like Spyhouse and Five Watt shape a lively dining and coffee culture. Everyday errands are easy with Cub Uptown and Lunds & Byerlys, Seven Points shopping, LA Fitness, and plentiful yoga and boutique studios. It’s friendly to both families and pets, with nearby off-leash dog runs and playground-laced parks, and a mix of classic walk-ups and newer mid-rises. Winters are cold and snowy; summers are festival-bright and lake-centric.
