About 45 rambler and traditional homes on Chanhassen’s northwest side, less than 10 minutes from downtown. Briarwood is established and well located.
Briarwood is on the northwest side of Chanhassen, off Lake Lucy Road just east of Galpin Boulevard. It has about 45 single-family homes.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Lake Ann Park are close. Downtown Chanhassen and Market Square, less than 10 minutes southeast, 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: Briarwood is served by Minnetonka Public Schools (ISD 276), not the Eastern Carver County district much of Chanhassen uses. Minnewashta Elementary is the closest school, and other options include Excelsior Elementary, Minnetonka Middle School West, Minnetonka High School, Chanhassen High School and Chapel Hill Academy. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- 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.
