Located west of downtown and on Minneapolis’ western edge, Bryn Mawr neighborhood borders parkland: Theodore Wirth Park to the north and west, Bassett Creek to the north, Bryn Mawr Meadows to the east and Cedar Lake Park in the south. Interstate 394 bisects Bryn Mawr and is the major entrance to the neighborhood. The neighborhood was named after one of the area’s elementary schools and the neighborhood’s community park. Bryn Mawr in Welsh means "big hill," and some of the early investors in the neighborhood were from Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania. Residents in this neighborhood tend to be professionals or executives, many of whom work out of their homes.
