Minnetrista Minnesota Real Estate

The Minnesota city of Minnetrista is located about 20 miles west of Minneapolis. Minnetrista Township, first conceptualized in 1858, was a popular tourist destination with hotels, cabins and summer camps.  On the western banks of Lake Minnetonka, this little town of 6,384 residents (according to the 2010 U.S. Census) has grown up somewhat insulated from the hustle and bustle of the Twin Cities and maintains a more rural feel. Even with this insulation, the Minnesota highways making accessing the whole of the Twin Cities a breeze.

Minnetrista is often considered to be on the fringe of the metro area, where it has retained much of its great natural beauty and recreation. Many community events in Minnetrista are centralized around school activities, church functions or other family-friendly environments.

Enjoy small town atmosphere in the natural surroundings of Minnetrista but with homes in the community close enough to the Twin Cities to access their riches and far enough away to live a quiet life.
