About 95 newer craftsman and traditional homes with a neighborhood park on Chanhassen’s southwest side. Pioneer Pass is newer and close to major highways.
Pioneer Pass is on the southwest side of Chanhassen, off Audubon Road just north of Pioneer Trail. It has about 95 single-family homes.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Pioneer Pass Park is in the neighborhood, and Hazeltine National Golf Club, Lake Susan Park, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Lake Ann Park are close. Lake Susan Park, about 33 acres, has a fishing pier, boat access, sand volleyball, tennis, ball fields, a playground and walking trails. Downtown Chanhassen has shopping, dining, groceries and entertainment. See Chanhassen parks and trails and community amenities.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Pioneer Pass is served by Eastern Carver County Schools (ISD 112). Nearby schools include Chanhassen Elementary, Bluff Creek Elementary, Pioneer Ridge Middle School 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.
- 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.

I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.
