A good townhome gives you back your weekends. No mowing, no shoveling, just a home that’s ready when you are.
Timber Creek is a townhome community on the northwest side of Chaska, off Bavaria Road. It’s known for a friendly feel and easy access to some of the best of Chaska.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re buying or thinking about selling.
What’s close by
Golf is close, with the Chaska Town Course and Hazeltine National nearby (see Chaska golf courses). The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Chaska Community Park and the Chaska Community Center are easy to reach.
Chaska Commons, a few miles east, has much of the city’s shopping, dining and groceries, and Two Twelve Medical Center is close too. More in Chaska parks and trails.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Timber Creek is served by School District 112 (Eastern Carver County Schools). Jonathan Elementary is the closest school. Other nearby options include Clover Ridge Elementary, Pioneer Ridge Middle School, 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 association documents, current dues, what they cover, the reserve fund and any planned assessments. A good townhome is also a good association.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and water management. Know which parts the association maintains and which are yours.
- Commute: Test your drive at rush hour before you buy.
A simple plan for your Timber Creek 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. Nearby, see Town Course Cottages, or 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.
