Picture a Saturday morning: a game at the ballfield down the street, coffee on the porch, errands done in ten minutes.
Points West is a neighborhood of about 80 single-family homes in central Chaska, on the east side of Highway 212 and Engler Boulevard, part of the Middle West community. Most homes are craftsman and traditional styles.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
Veterans Park and everything else
Veterans Park, with its ballfield and playground, is within walking distance. Chaska Commons is to the north and downtown Chaska to the south, with Highway 212 close by. See Chaska parks and trails.
Chaska Community Park, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Hazeltine National are nearby. More in Chaska golf courses.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Points West is served by School District 112 (Eastern Carver County Schools). Southwest Christian High School, a private school, is the closest. Other nearby options include Chaska Elementary, Chaska Middle School West and Chaska High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Age and condition: Look closely at the roof, windows, electrical, mechanicals and any past updates. A professional inspection pays for itself.
- Commute: Highway 212 is the main route toward Eden Prairie and Minneapolis. Test the drive at rush hour before you buy.
A simple plan for your Points West move
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.
Getting the house ready, or making it yours
If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise. Nearby, see Griep Park, or read my Chaska homes and market guide.
Super Crew Contractors, Ivy Lane Homes and Intrinsic Insurance are owned by David Olson; you are free to use any contractor, builder or insurer.
