Manchester Place is a northwest Minnetonka neighborhood of about 50 single-family homes on Sussex Drive, south of Minnetonka Boulevard and east of Tonkawood Road.

If you’re thinking about selling or buying here, here’s what the neighborhood is like and what to know before you tour.

Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.

Thinking about a home in Manchester Place?I’ll show you what homes nearby are really selling for and which streets fit your budget.

Life in Manchester Place

Northwest Minnetonka puts you close to Lake Minnetonka’s Gray’s Bay, Minnetonka’s parks and trails and Wayzata’s shops and restaurants, with Highway 101 and Minnetonka Boulevard for easy access.

Homes here were largely built in the same era, so condition and updates are what set one apart from the next. I’ll help you compare what each has had done.

Schools: Manchester Place is served by Minnetonka Public Schools (ISD 276). Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.

For current prices, I’ll pull recent sales in and around Manchester Place from the MLS so you see what homes are really selling for today.

What buyers check before they tour

  • Age and updates: Ask when the roof, windows, furnace and water heater were last replaced, and plan a thorough inspection.
  • Association: If there’s an HOA, review the fees, what they cover and the reserves before you write an offer.
  • Schools: Confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district, since boundaries can change.
