A carriage home has a certain charm: the feel of a house, the ease of a townhome and neighbors close enough to know.
East Creek is a townhome community of carriage homes on the southeast side of Chaska, just north of Chaska Boulevard between Crosstown Boulevard and Audubon Road.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Downtown Chaska is about a mile and a half west. Lions Park, the Chaska Community Center, Two Twelve Medical Center, Hazeltine National and Chaska Commons are close. See Chaska parks and trails and Chaska golf courses.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: East Creek 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.
- Association: Ask for the association documents, current dues, what they cover, the reserve fund and any planned assessments. A good townhome is also a good association.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and water management. Know which parts the association maintains and which are yours.
- Flood zones: Parts of Chaska sit in the Minnesota River lowlands. Check any home near downtown or the creeks on FEMA’s flood map.
A simple plan for your East Creek 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 Crystal Village, or 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.
