What to know

It is in close proximity to the neighboring, southwest, employment city of Eden Prairie, and only 28 minutes outside of downtown Minneapolis. This ideal location promotes a suburban, family culture within the city and has sparked its growth in recent years. With new housing and retail developments springing up around the city, Chanhassen is well on its way to becoming a full-fledged suburbia.

With a population of just over 24,000 residents, Chanhassen is perfect for those who want a suburban community that is quieter than its larger neighboring suburbs. The city is split between two counties, Carver and Hennepin. The majority of this community’s land resides in Carver County, while a small portion in the eastern part of the city rests in Hennepin. The city’s size contains about 20-square miles of land and 3-square miles of water. The three main routes through the city include U.S. Highway 212, and both State Highways 41 and 5. Each of these major highways provide a way to connect to other major cities within the Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area, ensuring simplicity when traveling to and from Chanhassen.

The businesses within the city of Chanhassen employ around 8,500 employees. Some of the most impactful companies in the city include General Mills, Rosemount Inc., and Lifetime Fitness. Chanhassen also places a strong value in its parks and recreational locations. With over 42 parks and open spaces throughout the city, this city blends modern infrastructure with natural beauty.
