About eighty townhomes off Eureka Road, a few minutes from groceries and the lake towns. Pondview is a lower-maintenance way into Shorewood.
Pondview is a townhome neighborhood on the southwest side of Shorewood, off Eureka Road south of Smithtown Road, with about 80 units.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Shorewood Village Shopping Center, just south of Lake Linden, covers groceries, coffee and hardware. Freeman Park, downtown Excelsior, Excelsior Commons, Paradise Charter Cruises and the Old Log Theatre are close. See Shorewood parks, trails and beaches and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Pondview is served by Minnetonka Public Schools (ISD 276). Nearby schools include Minnewashta Elementary, Deephaven Elementary, Minnetonka Middle School West 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.
