"Chanhassen Real Estate"

Chanhassen

An extremely thriving family community, Chanhassen, Minnesota is home to nearly 24,000 people. Though small in size, it makes up for it in character and its offerings for its residents. With a wide variety of community events, attractive and safe residential neighborhoods, and an easy access to the Twin Cities, Chanhassen is becoming one of the more coveted areas for people living in the city who are looking to move to the suburbs. If you are in the market for a new home, I hope you consider Chanhassen real estate.

One of the real perks of Chanhassen life is the surprising amount of entertainment offered right within the city limits. Probably the most well-known of these is the always-popular Chanhassen Dinner Theater. As a fully professional theater company, their season is always well-stocked with some of the most famous Broadway musicals, contemporary dramas and family shows.

Additionally, Chanhassen offers a great movie theater, and a sparkling downtown with some top-notch restaurants and bars.

Whether you are looking to spend time with your kids on the weekend, or just a nice evening out with your spouse, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy life in Chanhassen.

Because of its close proximity to Minneapolis and Saint Paul, many residents commute to the city for work. The city of Chanhassen, however, is very committed to creating employment within the city limits to continue its economic growth.

Since 1995, Chanhassen has added three million square feet of commercial and industrial space, which included approximately 550 businesses that employ over 9,500 people.
