The city of Chanhassen is a quaint little suburb of the Twin Cities, conveniently located about 20 miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis. Chanhassen was one of the first areas in Carver County to be settled, yet the city´s natural backdrop maintains most of its original tranquility, with numerous wide-open expanses of rolling green hills and plains scarcely touched by development. Chanhassen´s very name means “the tree with sweet sap,” referring to a sugar maple tree. The residential real estate value is complemented by the beauty of the natural surroundings.
Amidst the natural wonder that is Chanhassen exists a small scattering of commercial and industrial parks, providing a respectable economic base for the city´s residents. Chanhassen is home to approximately 550 businesses that employ more than 9,500 people. The city also boasts a prosperous downtown, where residents enjoy modern conveniences and gather for several year-round community events.
Be sure to visit the Arboretum for beautiful gardens, birdwatching, and cross country skiing in winter!
Chanhassen is also home to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Chanhassen Recreation Center, Senior Center, Bluff Creek Golf Course, a wide variety of fine restaurants, excellent lodging, its very own cinema, and most notably, the famous Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, which attracts more than 300,000 visitors and theater professionals annually. Residents also enjoy living close to the Mall of America, Minnesota Zoo, ValleyFair, and other metropolitan attractions made easily accessible by the five major highways that run through the city. But Chanhassen offers plenty of its own attractions as well.
Chanhassen is a perfect place for the entire family. Children attend Minnetonka school district 276, Chaska district 112 (both of which are excellent), or one of many quality private schools. Recreation programs are plentiful; with a wide variety of youth associations, adult athletic leagues, ball fields, a skate park with hockey rink, and 11 clean lakes–many with beaches–there´s never a dull moment in Chanhassen.
