Lowry Hill and East Isles rank among Minnesota's most expensive neighborhoods according to Patch's analysis of Niche's 2026 data.

Patch staff writer William Bornhoft identified Lowry Hill and East Isles as Minneapolis neighborhoods placed in Niche's highest cost-of-living tiers for 2026 in an article posted Wednesday, June 3, 2026 https://patch.com/minnesota/southwestminneapolis/these-are-10-mn-s-most-expensive-neighborhoods.
Niche's 2026 methodology determines these rankings by comparing locations using housing costs, income, taxes, and everyday expenses like groceries and gas https://patch.com/minnesota/southwestminneapolis/these-are-10-mn-s-most-expensive-neighborhoods.
Patch stated the ranking does not necessarily mean these neighborhoods have the highest home sale prices in every case because the metric looks beyond housing alone, while Bornhoft noted the highest-cost neighborhoods are concentrated in older, established parts of Minneapolis and St. Paul https://patch.com/minnesota/southwestminneapolis/these-are-10-mn-s-most-expensive-neighborhoods.
