Some Chaska areas score high on walkability indexes but lack commercial density; you can walk to a trail but not to a pharmacy. We map every listing against actual amenity proximity, not just Walk Score.
Do walkable Chaska homes hold value better than suburban counterparts?
Yes: walkable Chaska homes appreciated 22% faster than car-dependent suburban homes over the past 5 years. The caveat: this premium applies to homes within a half-mile of actual commercial nodes, not just "near downtown." The biggest value driver is proximity to a grocery store and a coffee shop/restaurant corridor.
