One of Chanhassen’s larger developments is Longacres. The area between Galpin Blvd. and Hazeltine Blvd. can be accessed either via Longacres Drive from the west or Hunter Drive if from the east.

(”Hunting” is a prominent theme of several of the winding streets in this community, so let’s go out on a limb and speculate that there is some fine taxidermist work that decorates the walls of the original land developer, OK?)

Minnesota’s own Lundgren Bros was the exclusive builder/ designer for this family neighborhood in the late 90’s early 2000’s and all homes sit on standard, suburban sized lots. Most homes have three-stall attached garages. A nice mix of angles and upgraded brick details combine to make these homes unique and inviting, yet familiar and coordinated. Current values range from Mid $400’s to high $600’s. Harrison Lake is on the north side of the development and provides a beautiful view from the decks of homes on several cul de sacs. The trails nearby are popular with the locals, and with good reason.

Longacres Park is multi-purpose oriented so the parents (or grandparents or nanny?) will appreciate the shade that is offered right by the assorted play areas. Kids of a wide array of ages can learn those life lessons about sharing, teamwork and healthy activities that take place in Minnesota’s great outdoors.
