Living across from a park changes your days. Evening walks, a game of tennis, skating in winter. It becomes part of who you are.
Creekside Apartments is a three-story, 18-unit building on Ravoux Road in Chaska, built in 1966, right across the street from Lions Park. If you live here and love this part of town, you may be starting to wonder about owning a place of your own nearby.
That’s exactly where I can help.
Why people love this corner of Chaska
Lions Park, across the street, has trails, ballfields, volleyball and tennis courts and winter skating. Chaska Boulevard and Chestnut Boulevard make it easy to get around, and both downtown Chaska and Chaska Commons are close for groceries, dining and shopping. See Chaska parks and trails and Chaska community life.
Nearby, there are townhomes for sale in communities like Ravoux just up the road.
What to know before you buy nearby
- Schools: This part of Chaska is served by School District 112 (Eastern Carver County Schools). Chaska Middle School West is one of the closest schools. Other nearby options include Chaska Elementary, Pioneer Ridge Middle School, Chaska High School and Southwest Christian High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Budget: As an owner, your monthly cost includes the mortgage, taxes, insurance and any association dues. Talk to a lender early so you know your real number.
- Flood zones: Parts of Chaska sit in the Minnesota River lowlands. Check any home near the river or creeks on FEMA’s flood map before you buy.
A simple plan for your Chaska 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. For the bigger picture, 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.
