About ninety townhomes along Manor Road, set among mature trees. Amesbury is quiet, green and easy to keep up.

Amesbury is a townhome neighborhood in eastern Shorewood, along Manor Road, with around 90 units.

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

What’s my Amesbury home worth?A clear, local estimate for your street, not just the city average.

What’s close by

The Old Log Theatre is close, Purgatory Park in Minnetonka is a short drive for trail walks, and downtown Excelsior has shops, restaurants and a grocery store to the west. See Shorewood parks, trails and beaches and community life.

What buyers check before they tour

  • Schools: Amesbury is served by Minnetonka Public Schools (ISD 276). Nearby schools include Deephaven Elementary, Clear Springs Elementary, Excelsior Elementary, Scenic Heights Elementary and Minnetonka 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 drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
