Fulton neighborhood in the southwest corner of Minneapolis borders the suburb of Edina. It's bound on the north by 47th Street West, on the east by Penn Avenue South, on the south by 54th Street West and on the west by France Avenue South. Fulton is bisected by 50th Street West, a busy thoroughfare with a commercial district that extends well into Edina. A largely residential neighborhood, houses were built here mostly in the 1920s and 1930s. Lake Harriet sits in Fulton's northeast corner and Minnehaha Creek runs through it.
