Covington Homes for Sale

Wooded back yards and private lanes bring an almost-rural atmosphere to Convington, a quaint, South Minnetonka neighborhood. The community has quiet streets that feel far removed from commercial areas and urban amenities, while Downtown Excelsior is only 4 miles away and Minneapolis is around 17 miles northeast. Peaceful natural areas, local restaurants and lakeside beaches are all within a 3-mile radius. “Most people move to the Minnetonka area for the recreation,” says Joe Carmack, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Classic Realty. “Locals like having access to Lake Minnetonka, whether they take a boat out or want a day on the beach.” The streets of Covington are lined with Colonial Revivals, split-levels and ranch-style homes, most of which were built between the 1960s and early 1980s.
