 About Lake Minnetonka Real Estate 

The largest lake in the Twin Cities metro, Lake Minnetonka, is 15 miles west of Minneapolis. The lake features 14,652 acres of water, spanning 37 bays and bodies of water. Native tribes originally inhabited the 125 miles of shoreline of Lake Minnetonka until the mid-1800s. With railways providing direct access from Minneapolis, numerous hotels lined the shores and provided relaxation for tourists around the nation, especially the south, escaping the summer heat. In addition to the fishing and peaceful waters, the lake was known for its amusement park on Big Island and the streetcar boats that quickly transported visitors around the lake. One hundred years later, the refreshing lake lifestyle and stunning luxury Lake Minnetonka properties are garnering the country's attention.
