“Where quality is their nature”

The city of Minnetonka has a long history dating back to the mid 1800’s when it was a popular settlement due to its location along the Minnehaha Creek. 

• Early settlers primarily came from New England and other Eastern states and brought with them the techniques to grow raspberries which later set up the success of Minnetonka’s neighboring city, Hopkins.

• Minnetonka, with a population of roughly 50,000 people, is one of the largest Lake Minnetonka communities. The city is 28 square miles with over 1.29 square miles being on the water. 

• Minnetonka is only 8 miles from downtown Minneapolis making this a great location for the commuter.  

• Minnetonka is an innovator in commerce possessing the only mall in the Lake Minnetonka area, Ridgedale, and is home to some of Minnesota’s largest corporations such as Carlson Companies, Cargill and United Health.       

• The city of Minnetonka was named Money Magazine’s “100 Best Places to Live in America” 2017. Mayor Schneider said, “The city’s economic stability, diverse housing market, excellent education options, city amenities and natural beauty all combine to make our community a desirable fit for people of all ages.”

Minnetonka has its own Police Department, Fire Department and City Hall.
