Woodland, Minnesota is a small lakeshore city located on Lake Minnetonka. As one of the numerous cities that resides on the lake’s shores, Woodland belongs to a close-knit community that is active and shares an appreciation for the waters.
Here’s a look at everyday life, from shopping and dining to community events.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
Everyday life in Woodland
Being that Woodland is almost entirely residential, the majority of the community events that residents participate in are hosted in the surrounding cities. Woodland is one of the wealthiest communities in Minnesota, and the scenic homes located directly on Lake Minnetonka’s shores contribute to the quiet and secluded atmosphere.
Some of the most popular events in the surrounding community include farmer’s markets, concerts in local parks, and the Lake Minnetonka 4th of July celebration. All of these events are made available for Woodland’s residents, with many taking place in the neighboring cities of Excelsior and Shorewood. While most of these events occur during the summer months, when the weather is warm and the lake is open, there are still events that occur in the winter time. The most celebrated event of the winter, is the annual Arctic Fever. This event is done in conjunction with neighboring cities on the frozen Lake Minnetonka and engages families of all ages in outdoor winter activities and races. With fat tire bike races, snowshoeing, ice skating, geocaching, sledding, snow sculpting, a chili cook-off, and plenty more contests, this event is a ton of fun and always draws in big crowds.
One of the greatest aspects of Woodland’s community is its ideal location. With easy access to the amenities of the surrounding cities as well as being close to the larger surrounding suburbs, residents of Woodland are able to enjoy the finest that Minnesota has to offer. Top-notch dining, entertainment, and shopping are just a short drive or boat ride away. This balance of big-city benefits and small-town charm lend to the uniqueness of Woodland’s community. Residents of Woodland enjoy having a separation of home community and suburban commerce. By going out of their city to enjoy suburban comforts, residents of Woodland ensure a quieter, more secluded community. Some of the larger surrounding cities including Minnetonka, Wayzata, and Plymouth offer employment options, and Minneapolis is only about 25 minutes away.
