"Charming Chaska"

With the addition of the New Hwy 212 Extension through the west metro... there is a lot of interest growing with Chaska. New homes and neighborhoods are cropping up and it is fast becoming one of the Twin City's hottest markets.

The charming town of Chaska, perched on the bluffs above the Minnesota River Valley, has a deeply rooted Native American history.

Voted Top 10 Best City by Money Magazine. It is believed that Chaska was first settled by the Mound Builders. In fact, Ancient burial mounds are visible in the town square. The name, Chaska, is a variation of a Dakota word meaning “first born.”

Chaska is home to Hazeltine, a world class gold club, and also the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Great small town feel.

"Chaska Real Estate"

Chaska

One of the most growing communities near the Twin Cities, Chaska is enjoying some national fame. In the year 2007, it was ranked eighth on CNN’s Top 100 places to live, and it shows no signs of slowing down. With a beautiful downtown area, safe and reasonably priced residential neighborhoods, and a prime location of only 25 miles from Minneapolis, Chaska is one of the hidden secrets of the greater Metro Area. If you are considering buying a home for you and your family, the time has never been better to explore Chaska real estate.

It should be noted Chaska currently has a population of around 22,500 people. Part of the reason it has maintained such a contained population is that no direct route to the Twin Cities is currently available. That is all about to change. The construction of U.S. Route 212 will provide Chaska residents with an easily accessible drive to the city, as well as an improvement in mass transit. Because of this, it is estimated that the population will grow by fifty percent over the next fifteen years. Chaska is truly on the rise, and with real estate prices at such low prices, the time has never been better to get a jump on the market.
But don’t expect Chaska to sacrifice the small-town charm that appeals to its residents. The city of Chaska is highly committed to providing a safe, family friendly atmosphere, and is further committed to its extensive park and recreation system that is frequently cited as one of the best in the state. Members of the Chaska community can often be found walking along some of the most scenic trails in the area, or spending time with their children at the top-notch playgrounds the city offers.
In terms of real estate, there is plenty to offer regardless of family size or financial situation. Chaska boasts some of the best real estate deals in the area, which is part of the reason it rated so high on CNN’s list. If you are seeking to start out, many currently available single family homes offer a great deal of space and many are very affordably priced. If you are looking for something a bit larger, there are a number of multi-story homes on the market that will allow your children to spread out a bit more. If you are single, you can find excellent deals on some wonderful condominiums near the downtown area, giving you an opportunity to feel more inside the community. Regardless of your criteria, I encourage you to contact me. I would be happy to help you learn your options and assist you in finding the home that is perfect for you.
