Woodland Highlights:

Nestled on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, Woodland is the smallest city in Hennepin County, just 0.8 square miles, but it boasts an impressive 5.9 miles of shoreline. With around 190 households and 500 residents, this residential community offers a peaceful and private lifestyle. Many of the homes sit on spacious lots along Wayzata Bay, which holds an A water quality rating from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, one of the best on the lake. Tucked into its shoreline is Woolsey Pond, a serene little bay framed by weeping willows, lily pads, and wildlife. Woodland is also home to the Assembly Grounds, a unique area with a shared lakeshore, historic homes, and community charm, and Maplewoods, an estate neighborhood known for its rare virgin maple forests and Native American history. While there are no retail shops or restaurants within Woodland itself, its charm lies in its quiet, residential nature, so quiet that its city hall is shared with neighboring Greenwood and Deephaven. The city has a 100% lower violent crime rate than the national average and ranks as one of the wealthiest communities in Minnesota, placing among the top 50 highest-income places in the United States.
