Neighborhood

Head out of Minneapolis on Interstate 394 towards the far west suburbs and feel your shoulders begin to relax as you reach a lush community boasting leisure days on the lake and tree-lined streets. West Minnetonka offers beauty and recreation in every season. Sailboats and water-skiers greet you in the summer, gorgeous fall colors reflect off the lake in autumn, frosted trees announce winter, and spring rolls in with green buds and sparkling blue water.

West Minnetonka follows along the eastern shores of Lake Minnetonka, which has over 125 miles of shoreline ideal for hiking, relaxing, and water sports. Woodlands, parks, beaches, and trails delight nature lovers and exercise fanatics. Life here is slow paced and lake-centric, whether you have lakefront property or have to travel a few miles to get there. Most residents commute to Minneapolis for work, but many businesses thrive right in the suburbs with no commute necessary.

Love the location, great amenities, walking around the the area is fantastic. I saw deer on the island of he first time I walked around the building. Most of the residents are very friendly. I love that hummingbirds during this he summer and the native plants so that if you look close enough you can see a lot of native bees.

This is a very convenient andupscale residence with great walking trails. The drawback is the parking situation for guests and family unless you rent multiple spaces in the parking garage and who can afford that?

Property Manager at The Island Residences, Responded To This Review

Thank you for leaving us this review! It is great to hear that you enjoy our unique location and what it has to offer. Part of the uniqueness of The Island is that we are literally build on an island. This can create some restrictions in the amount of available parking from time to time. We have recently seen our guest parking be more readily available for those who are visiting and hope that continues. Thank you again for taking the time to leave your review.

We love our location at The Island. The view and the atmosphere is excellent. This is a multigenerational facility and most tenants are very polite and friendly. The common concern we have is the lack of parking on the plaza level for guests.We have addressed this concern with the office management in the past and they have taken note. Both the community managers and the maintenance staff are very responsive to our concerns. This is a very comfortable setting regardless of season.,

Beautiful Property. Try and see your actual unit before leasing. We were misled about our patio situation that was a huge selling point for us.

The Island Residences exceeded my expectations for apartment living. We have two large dogs and the Island residents are welcoming of me as well as my canine family members. The property is beautiful with the paths and lake and the many green areas. The convenience to downtown or Wayzata is fantastic! The coffee machine in the lobby is delicious and convenient. I haven't lived in an apartment in over 30 years and I would highly recommend The Island to anyone transitioning from one house to another.

I love my apartment and it’s beautiful. I love big windows, plenty of light. Kitchen is great and very nice gas stow. Amenities are great, it’s nice to have club room to entertainment friends. Sauna is perfect for cold weather. And fitness room is great too. Snow have been plowed soon as it started to pile up. I lived in the other places when you can’t get out for two days because nothing is plowed until it’s done snowing. So good job Islander!
