Nestled between Carver Park Reserve and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, the city of Victoria is an outdoorsy small town off the shores of Lake Minnetonka. This lakefront suburb is home to the Deer Run Golf Club and eight different lakes. Victoria’s active community appreciates the abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, from hiking and fishing to boating and swimming — but don’t forget about camping and wildlife-watching opportunities!
Victoria is home to a few local restaurants, bars, and cafes in the heart of town, but the majority of the city is made up of residential neighborhoods, lakes, and open green space. The apartments and houses for rent in town are quite charming, and are located in safe, family-friendly neighborhoods. Victoria is about 26 miles southwest of Minneapolis, so residents can easily commute to and from the city for more entertainment options. Locals enjoy frequenting the lakes, reserves, and wineries around Victoria.
