A good neighborhood is often a simple thing: a solid house, friendly neighbors and the park down the street.
Westwood is on the west side of Chaska, just south of Highway 212 off Bavaria Road. It has about 54 single-family homes and 15 twin homes, in ranch, rambler and split-level styles.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
Parks, golf and errands nearby
Veterans Park, Chaska Community Park, the Chaska Community Center and the Chaska Town Course are close. See Chaska parks and trails and Chaska golf courses.
Chaska Commons is about two miles east, and Two Twelve Medical Center is nearby.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Westwood 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.
- Twin homes: For a twin home, ask how shared walls, roofs and exteriors are handled, and whether there’s an association.
- 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 Westwood 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 Stone Creek, or read my Chaska homes and market guide.
