It contains the Uptown business district and the name "Uptown" is frequently (though somewhat incorrectly) used to refer to the entire community. The name of the community refers to its most prominent physical features, the large and publicly accessible lakes Bde Maka Ska (formerly known as "Lake Calhoun") and Lake of the Isles.[5]
Bde Maka Ska-Isles is an affluent part of the city, and people of upper middle class means and above, including young professionals and older millionaires, inhabit the community.[citation needed]
