The Lake Minnetonka real estate area starts at the west end of the city of Minnetonka. Before the cities of Woodland, Wayzata and Deephaven annexed to themselves from Minnetonka, they served as the main port and access to Lake Minnetonka homes from the central Twin Cities area. Now those areas serve as the eastern most portion of the homes on Lake Minnetonka and give access to its other small communities such as Excelsior, Shorewood, Tonka Bay, Minnetonka Beach, Orono, Spring Park and Mound, just to name a few.

The lake itself is massive, approximately 14,000 acres, with arms, and bays and islands sprinkled throughout. Lake Minnetonka real estate is known for its valuable Lake Minnetonka property and Lake Minnetonka homes for sale, often beautiful and luxurious mansions including the distinguished Pillsbury Mansion which went up for sale in 2007 for 53 million together with its almost 13 acres of land and over 1700 feet of shoreline.

Certain areas of the Lake also contain restaurants, marinas, and other entertainment centers that serve as bases for the boating and water sports community nearby. Lake Minnetonka property has also historically served as a popular resort destination, particularly for "vacationing" Chicago mobsters. Its irregular shape and numerous bays, make it ideally intricate (if not flat out difficult) to navigate its 140 miles of shoreline whether by boat or by land.
