East Harriet, located on Minneapolis' southwest side, was one of the first of Minneapolis' many neighborhoods to participate in the city's Neighborhood Revitalization Plan. The East Harriet Farmstead Neighborhood Association was formed in 1991 and continues to be a vital part of the community and a driving force behind improvements to the area. These days, the East Harriet neighborhood is an inviting community with many popular parks and recreational venues. Key among these is the Lyndale Farmstead Park, with basketball and tennis courts, and playground equipment. The park has become a popular gathering place for neighbors and residents and often hosts community events.

East Harriet is a high income neighborhood, with the median family income about 40% higher than the median income for the city. The housing is equally divided between owner occupied single homes and rental housing, which attracts a large proportion of young, successful professionals who are active within the neighborhood and help shape its face.

The population is young, hip and diverse, with nearly half the residents falling between 29 and 44 years of age as of 2000. The parks, lakes and outdoor trails of the neighborhood offer a wonderful playspace for young families and older professionals alike, and the neighborhood continues to grow and thrive under the guidance of the EHFNA's long range planning goals.
