Townhomes on the southern shore of Lake Minnewashta, with lake views and a secluded feel. Red Cedar Cove is lake living with less upkeep.
Red Cedar Cove is a townhome community on the west side of Chanhassen, off Red Cedar Point Road just east of Minnewashta Parkway and north of Highway 5.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Lake Minnewashta Regional Park has a swimming beach, playgrounds, picnic shelters, volleyball courts and paved trails. The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Lake Ann Park, Minnetonka Country Club, Hazeltine National Golf Club and downtown Chanhassen are close. See Chanhassen parks and trails and community amenities.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Red Cedar Cove is served by Minnetonka Public Schools (ISD 276). Nearby schools include Minnewashta Elementary, Excelsior Elementary, Minnetonka Middle School West, Minnetonka High School and Chanhassen 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.
- 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.
