A townhome can be a beginning or a well-earned simplification. Either way, you want it to feel like home the moment you turn onto the street.
Lake Hazeltine Woods is a townhome community on the northeast side of Chaska, off Autumn Woods Drive just west of Audubon Road. It’s known for its friendly feel and convenient location.
Here’s what’s worth knowing, whether you’re buying or thinking about selling.
What’s close by
From here, a lot of Chaska community life is within easy reach. Golf is close in several directions (see Chaska golf courses), and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is nearby.
Chaska Commons, a few miles west, has much of the city’s shopping, dining and groceries, and Two Twelve Medical Center is close too. For trails and parks, see Chaska parks and trails.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Lake Hazeltine Woods is served by School District 112 (Eastern Carver County Schools). Pioneer Ridge Middle School is one of the closest schools. Other nearby options include Chaska Elementary, Chaska Middle School East, Chaska High School and Southwest Christian High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Association: Ask for the documents, current dues, what they cover, the reserve fund and any planned assessments.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage. Know what the association maintains and what you do.
- Commute: Test your drive at rush hour before you buy.
A simple plan for your Lake Hazeltine Woods move
I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes for about two decades, and I started in the trades. That means I notice the things an inspector will, before they become a negotiation.
Getting the house ready, or making it yours
If you’re selling and want a few repairs handled first, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready to move up to something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And Intrinsic Insurance can check your coverage before closing. For more on the city, read my Chaska homes and market guide.
Super Crew Contractors, Ivy Lane Homes and Intrinsic Insurance are owned by David Olson; you are free to use any contractor, builder or insurer.
