The Bryant Neighborhood

The Bryant Neighborhood is situated in the heart of south Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is bounded by East Lake Street to the north, East 36th Street to the south, Hiawatha Avenue to the east, and Cedar Avenue to the west. 

The neighborhood area was incorporated by the City in 1887, and by 1930 it was fully developed. Today it is a residential neighborhood with mostly single-family dwellings, interspersed with multifamily buildings mainly in its northwestern quadrant.
