Head out of Minneapolis on Interstate 394 towards the far west suburbs and feel your shoulders begin to relax as you reach a lush community boasting leisure days on the lake and tree-lined streets. West Minnetonka offers beauty and recreation in every season. Sailboats and water-skiers greet you in the summer, gorgeous fall colors reflect off the lake in autumn, frosted trees announce winter, and spring rolls in with green buds and sparkling blue water.
West Minnetonka follows along the eastern shores of Lake Minnetonka, which has over 125 miles of shoreline ideal for hiking, relaxing, and water sports. Woodlands, parks, beaches, and trails delight nature lovers and exercise fanatics. Life here is slow paced and lake-centric, whether you have lakefront property or have to travel a few miles to get there. Most residents commute to Minneapolis for work, but many businesses thrive right in the suburbs with no commute necessary.
