• Lake access
  Lake access and boat slips

  Living near the lake is not the same as having a place to keep a boat. This page separates private shore, a shared dock, a city waitlist, and a public boat launch, including the rules in Wayzata and Excelsior.

• Process
  Minnesota foreclosure timeline

  What the state law and the Hennepin sheriff actually do, and in what order. No made-up day counts.

• Disambiguation
  Minnetonka the city, the lake, and Minnetonka Beach

  Three different places. Search treats them as one. This page shows how to tell them apart, including how to check the school for a specific address.

  Local Log

  Dated notes from the lake towns, the same kind of thing posted on X and Google.

• Weekly
  Weekly closed sales

  Homes that actually closed around the lake that week. Real closes, not estimates.

  Most expensive homes on Lake Minnetonka

  Asking prices and sold prices kept separate. A number appears only when it can be checked.

• Seller options
  Talk before you panic

  Listing, a short sale, an as-is sale, or staying put. A conversation first, not a pitch to buy your house for cash.

• Calculator
  Keep or sell

  A simple five-year comparison of staying versus selling, then a talk with Geoffrey.

• Area page
  City of Minnetonka

  The city itself, not the lake. Pair this with the page that separates the city, the lake, and Minnetonka Beach.
