Established Groveland brings safety and highly-ranked schools to Central Minnetonka
Located in the central region of Minnetonka, Groveland has spent years growing into a well-established neighborhood, something locals say isn’t going to change anytime soon. “The infrastructure has been well-developed and maintained over the decades,” says Cassie Frick, a Realtor with Edina Realty. “We’re basically as big as we’re going to get, so you don’t see a lot of huge changes. Especially out west where the suburbs are exploding.” Featuring highly ranked public schools, public parks and a sense of safety, families in particular seek out Groveland homes. The CAP Crime Index lists Groveland as a two out of 10 – one point away from being the lowest score possible.

Baseball diamonds, nature trails and a game of horseshoes
“You can’t throw a rock without hitting a public park,” says Frick. “Most of them are connected by the city’s paved trail system, and they cover a lot of activities.” Tennis and softball are popular at Gro Tonka Park, with kids playing on the horseshoe court or playground equipment. Hikers can admire the wetlands of Jidana Park from its boardwalk trail or canoe through Minnehaha Creek. Bennett Family Park has five diamonds for baseball or softball and hosts everything from Little League to traveling teams. About 2 miles northwest is Lake Minnetonka, the largest lake in the Twin Cities Area.
