Quiet streets at the edge of town, a park down the road and the highway close enough when you need it.
Sophia is a neighborhood of craftsman-style single-family homes on the western edge of Chaska, a few miles north of Highway 212, and part of the larger Clover Ridge community.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
Part of Clover Ridge
Sophia shares in the Clover Ridge community. Chaska Community Park, a few miles east, has picnic areas, ballfields, soccer fields, trails, basketball courts and skating. See Chaska parks and trails.
The Chaska Town Course and Hazeltine National are close (see Chaska golf courses), Chaska Commons is about three miles east, and Highway 212 opens up the rest of the metro.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Sophia is served by School District 112 (Eastern Carver County Schools). Clover Ridge Elementary, inside the Clover Ridge development, is the closest school. Other nearby options include Jonathan Elementary, Chaska Middle School West, Chaska High School and Southwest Christian High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Newer homes: Ask about the age of the roof and mechanicals, any remaining builder warranty, and whether there’s a neighborhood association and what it covers.
- 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 Sophia 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 Romeo Court, 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.
