Minnetonka is one of the most well-rounded communities in the entire metro — and one of the most consistently underrated by people who haven't spent time there. Spread across nearly 28 square miles of rolling terrain, wooded lots, and lake frontage, it offers the space and privacy of a true suburb while keeping downtown Minneapolis within 20 minutes. The housing stock ranges from sprawling mid-century estates on oversized lots to sleek new custom construction, with price points that reflect the city's enduring desirability.
