elcome to the 2013-2014 Chanhassen Resident’s Guide. This Chanhassen Villager publication is a comprehensive directory of information and resources used by Chanhassen businesses and residents, especially those who are new to this area.

The Resident’s Guide is a compilation of valuable information — a single source for lists of services, names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Keep it handy; use it often.

Our apologies in advance for omissions or for changes that occur after publication.

The challenge in publishing this Resident’s Guide is not only collecting accurate and important information, but keeping that information current in one of the Twin Cities’ fastest-growing areas.

If you would like additiona l copies of this publication, ca l l our Circulation Department at 952-345-6682. The Resident’s Guide is also available at www.chanhassenresidentsguide.com. For additional information or to submit corrections, send an e-mail to agentile@swpub.com or call 952-445-3333.

Welcome to Chanhassen!

With a population of 23,954, Chanhassen offers the best of rural and suburban life — it’s a great place to live, work and play!

Most of the city’s 14,427 acres are in Carver County, with 154 in Hennepin County.

Five major highways traverse the community — including the new Highway 212 freeway — allowing residents and commuters to reach other metropolitan communities in minutes.

Businesses include a variety of commercial and industrial companies. Office and warehouse buildings are located throughout the city. Since 1995, the city has added 2.5 million square feet of commercial/industrial space. The approximately 500 businesses employ more than 13,264 people.

Two public school districts, Minnetonka and District 112, as well as private schools, serve the families in the community. Residents and students also welcomed the 2009 opening of Chanhassen High School, the second high school for District 112.

There is much to do and enjoy in Chanhassen. The downtown area offers shopping, dining and entertainment — including the renowned Chanhassen Dinner Theatres — as well as a library and many service and retail businesses. For outdoor enthusiasts, Chanhassen has 11 lakes that offer recreation and relaxation to residents and visitors to the community. The city’s 400-acre park system features 30 community and neighborhood parks, as well as 90 miles of trails for people of all ages. The park system also features 14 nature preserves. Additionally, the Chanhassen Senior Center is a social gathering spot for those over age 55.
