Some neighborhoods feel like a walk in the woods. Autumn Woods, beside Hazeltine National, is one of them.
Autumn Woods is a wooded neighborhood of about 220 single-family homes in northeast Chaska, just north of Highway 212, on the east side of Hazeltine National Golf Club. Home styles include traditional, contemporary, rambler and colonial, and there are two neighborhood parks.
The community has four parts, North, East, West and South, and it’s part of the Jonathan community. Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Hazeltine National, Chaska Par 30 and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum are close (see Chaska golf courses). Chaska Commons is about a mile and a half west, and Two Twelve Medical Center, Chaska Community Park, the Chaska Community Center and Pioneer Park are nearby. See Chaska parks and trails.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Autumn Woods 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.
- Golf nearby: For homes near Hazeltine National, ask about course easements and stray-ball exposure.
- 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.
A simple plan for your Autumn Woods 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 Hazeltine Glen, or read my Chaska homes and market guide.
