About thirty homes on the south banks of Lake Riley, with room to spread out. Meadowlark is small, spacious and on the water.
Meadowlark is in south Chanhassen, just north of Pioneer Trail on the south shore of Lake Riley. It has around 30 single-family homes, many of them larger lakeside homes.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Hazeltine National Golf Club, Bluff Creek Golf Club, Lake Susan Park and Rice Lake Marsh Park, with a basketball court, bike trails, fields and a playground, are close. Downtown Chanhassen has the city’s best shopping and dining. See Chanhassen parks and trails and community amenities.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Meadowlark is served by Eastern Carver County Schools (ISD 112). Nearby schools include Chanhassen High School, Chanhassen Elementary, Bluff Creek Elementary, Pioneer Ridge Middle School and St. Hubert’s School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Shoreline: For lakeshore homes, ask about dock rights, shoreline rules and any permits for past changes to the shore.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.

I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.
