One of the most interesting and exciting aspects of the city of Victoria is its engaging and active community. Despite its smaller suburban population of around 9,000 residents, Victoria’s community is vibrant and active; much more so than neighboring cities of comparable size. The community in Victoria can be most easily seen in its events, amenities, and location.

When it comes to events, Victoria has several that occur on a yearly basis. One of the most popular is the award-winning Bike Konnect event which occurs in June. This 8-mile family bike ride ventures from Victoria to the neighboring city of Chaska with stops at parks along the way. At the end of the ride is a celebration including food, music, a bounce house, and a climbing wall. Due to its innovative and creative approach, the Bike Konnect event has received the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association award of excellence. Other popular events include Classic Car and Concert Night in downtown, free movies in the Lions park, an annual softball tournament, and the wildly popular kids Nerf Gun Party. It is the continual, engaging, community events that give a small city like Victoria such a strong sense of tradition and community pride.

In addition to the wealth of community events, Victoria features a number of amenities. One valuable amenity is it’s great downtown shopping area. Victoria has its own full-service bank, numerous places of worship, service stations, a car dealership, fine dining and fast food options, a sports shop, as well as chiropractic, lifestyle, spa, barbershop, and dental services, and a new grocery store. This diversity of businesses is uncharacteristic of a town of its size, and truly adds value and convenience to living in Victoria.

Another popular amenity of Victoria’s community is its Recreation Center. With a fitness center, gymnasiums, ice rinks, and a walking track, the Recreation Center is a great destination for those pursuing an active lifestyle. In addition, daycare services are provided for active parents.

A final contributor to the community is its ideal location. As one of the southwest suburbs connected to Lake Minnetonka, Victoria is associated with a historic and rich community that is found among the lakeshore cities. Not only is Victoria benefitted by its connection to Lake Minnetonka, but its ideal location near larger suburban cities such as Chanhassen, Chaska, Eden Prairie, and Minnetonka allows for its residents to be a short drive away from even more top-notch dining and entertainment options.
