A wooded neighborhood, a mile from the shops and close to the highway. Autumn Woods South gets the everyday details right.
Autumn Woods is a wooded community in the northeast corner of Chaska, split into four parts: North, East, West and South. It’s part of the Jonathan community and has two neighborhood parks.
Autumn Woods South has about 60 traditional and craftsman single-family homes, off Pioneer Trail and Audubon Road just north of Highway 212. Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Chaska Commons is about a mile away. Pioneer Park, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Two Twelve Medical Center and nearby golf are close. See Chaska parks and trails and Chaska golf courses.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Autumn Woods South 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.
