Two minutes to downtown. Parks and trails nearby. If you’re living at Crosstown Commons, you already know this is a great part of Chaska.
Crosstown Commons is a small apartment community on the southeast side of Chaska, off Crosstown Boulevard just north of Chaska Boulevard. A lot of people who love it here eventually start asking a bigger question: could we own a home in this neighborhood?
Let’s find out together.
Why this location works
Downtown Chaska is about two minutes away, with shops, restaurants and events. The Chaska Community Center, Two Twelve Medical Center and Chaska Commons are close, and Hazeltine National is an easy drive. See Chaska parks and trails and Chaska golf courses.
Nearby townhome communities like Ravoux and Crystal Village are a natural next step for many renters.
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 among the nearby 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.
