Maybe you’re renting at Brickstone Estates right now. Maybe you’ve walked past it and wondered what it would take to stop renting and own a place of your own nearby.
Brickstone Estates is an apartment community in south central Chaska, just north of downtown, with amenities like a fitness center, grilling area, covered parking and a playground. It’s a comfortable place to live. And for a lot of people, it’s also the place where the question starts: what if we bought?
That question is exactly where I can help.
Why people love this part of Chaska
The location is central. Downtown Chaska, Firemen’s Park and the Chaska Community Center are close, and so are the Chaska Town Course and Hazeltine National (see Chaska golf courses). Chaska Commons and Two Twelve Medical Center are an easy drive.
If you love living here, there are townhomes and single-family homes for sale nearby, like Brickstone Townhomes just up the street. More in Chaska parks and trails.
What to know before you buy nearby
- Schools: This part of Chaska is served by School District 112 (Eastern Carver County Schools). Chaska Middle School East is one of the closest schools. Other nearby options include Chaska Elementary, Chaska Middle School West, Chaska High School and Southwest Christian High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Budget: Your monthly cost as an owner includes the mortgage, taxes, insurance and any association dues. Talk to a lender early so you know your real number.
- Flood zones: Parts of Chaska sit in the Minnesota River lowlands. Check any home near downtown on FEMA’s flood map.
A simple plan for your Chaska move
I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes for about two decades, and I started in the trades. I look at a home the way a builder would, and I’ll tell you plainly what I see.
Getting the house ready, or making it yours
If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise. For a full picture of the city, read my Chaska homes and market guide.
