About Life
Records tell of visitors in 1853, with the first home built in 1857 and a summer cottage in the 1870s around Lake Minnetonka. This small, single-family residential community is known for its beautiful natural setting. Although relatively close to Minneapolis, Woodland’s quiet, winding, tree-lined streets feel miles away from the urban area.

Unique Beautiful Homes
Since it was settled in 1882 and incorporated in 1948, Woodland residents have guarded its trees, topography, and the lake. Lush wooded areas and spontaneous vegetation growth are more common here than typical suburban landscaping. More than half of Woodland's homes have access to Lake Minnetonka. Many residences are on large lots of two acres or more. A charming exception is the Groveland Assembly Ground, a 41-home, lakeside community that evolved from an early 1900s Methodist summer retreat campground: tent sites turned to summer cottages to year-round homes.
