Mature trees, a park in the neighborhood and Chaska Commons about a mile away. Autumn Woods East makes daily life easy.
Autumn Woods is a wooded community in the northeast corner of Chaska, just north of Highway 212, split into four parts: North, East, West and South. It’s part of the Jonathan community and has two neighborhood parks.
Autumn Woods East has about 55 craftsman and traditional single-family homes off Audubon Road, plus a neighborhood park with a playground and open space. Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Chaska Commons is about a mile away. Pioneer Park, Chaska Par 30, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Two Twelve Medical Center are close. See Chaska parks and trails and Chaska golf courses.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Autumn Woods East is served by School District 112 (Eastern Carver County Schools). Pioneer Ridge Middle School is one of the closest schools. Other nearby options include Jonathan Elementary, Chaska High School, Chanhassen High School and The World Learner School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Associations: Homes here can belong to both the Jonathan Association and a neighborhood association. Ask what each one covers and costs.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
- Commute: Highway 212 is the main route toward Eden Prairie and Minneapolis. Test the drive at rush hour before you buy.

I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes for about two decades, and I started in the trades. I look at a home the way a builder would, and I’ll tell you plainly what I see.
