STANDOUT FEATURE: Avienda is the rare west metro new construction community built around a planned mixed-use district, with retail, dining, and services walkable from your front door. Nothing else at this price point in the southwest suburbs offers the same urban-style convenience in a suburban setting.
Chanhassen High School : 9/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com
WHAT TO KNOW: Homes sit on smaller, efficient lots that support the low-maintenance lifestyle but trade off yard space and privacy. The HOA covers lawn care, snow removal, exterior maintenance, and access to a pool, clubhouse, and trails. The surrounding commercial district is still in active development — the retail layout was revised again in early 2026 — so buyers should expect ongoing construction activity for several years and weigh the long-term vision against the current state of the site. Avienda also includes townhomes and apartments alongside the villas, giving the community more density and foot traffic than a typical villa neighborhood. Compared to Foxwood, Avienda is the choice when convenience and walkability matter more than yard space and lot character.
Foxwood
BEST FIT: Move-up and custom-oriented buyers prioritizing wooded privacy, lot quality, and an executive-style setting.
Price Range: $1.5M+ Builder: Stonegate Builders Home Sizes: 4,545–5,101 SQF Distance To Target: 7 min Single Family: 4,545–5,101 SQF
None: Parks, Trails HOA:
Bluff Creek Elementary School: 9/10 Pioneer Ridge Middle School: 8/10 Chanhassen High School: 9/10 Ratings from GreatSchools.com
STANDOUT FEATURE: Heavily wooded homesites backing to Fox Woods Nature Preserve, with a tunnel connecting the neighborhood directly to Bandimere Park. Privacy and natural setting at this level are rare in newer Twin Cities construction at any price.
WHAT TO KNOW: Lots vary significantly — many offer walkout potential, mature trees, and meaningful separation from neighbors. There's no formal HOA and no centralized amenity package, so the value is in the land and home quality rather than shared features. Trail connections and direct park access deliver everyday outdoor usability without the structure of a more managed community. Compared to other Chanhassen new construction, Foxwood is the choice when the lot matters as much as the house — but it's a less natural fit for buyers wanting low-maintenance living or built-in neighborhood amenities.
