About 35 homes on the south side of Lotus Lake, with a neighborhood park and lake access, less than a mile from downtown. South Lotus Lake is wooded and close to everything.
South Lotus Lake is on the east side of Chanhassen, off Highway 101 just north of Highway 5. It has about 35 single-family homes in traditional and rambler styles.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
South Lotus Lake Park is in the neighborhood, and Lake Ann Park, Lake Susan Park, Lake Minnewashta Regional Park and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum are close. Downtown Chanhassen and Market Square, less than a mile west, have Target, Byerlys, Cub Foods, Axel’s, Chanhassen Cinema and the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres. See Chanhassen parks and trails and community amenities.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: South Lotus Lake is served by Eastern Carver County Schools (ISD 112). Nearby schools include Chanhassen Elementary, Bluff Creek Elementary and Chanhassen High School, and private options include St. Hubert Catholic School and Chapel Hill Academy. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- On or near the water: For lake-view or lakeshore lots, ask about shoreline rules, docks, flood zones and any lake 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.
