Woodland

The smallest city on the lake — known for beauty, Native American history, and unparalleled lower lakeshore estates.

Barely 8 square miles, roughly 500 residents, and only 190 households — Woodland is deliberately insulated from commercial development to preserve its idyllic settings. Hidden driveways, towering trees, dramatic topography, and commanding views over Wayzata Bay make this one of the most coveted addresses in the Twin Cities.

  • 2-acre minimum lots — privacy built into the fabric of the community.
  • The Assembly Grounds feature historic buildings, shared lakeshore, and docking.
  • Maplewoods is one of the few estate neighborhoods with rare old-growth timber and Sioux Indian history.
  • Pristine virgin maple forests within city limits.
  • Winding streets lead to hidden neighborhoods.
  • 5 minutes from Wayzata or Deephaven.
  • One of the lowest crime rates in the state. 20 minutes to downtown Minneapolis.
