Where Groveland is
Groveland is in the part of Minnetonka near Gray's Bay, at the eastern end of Lake Minnetonka. The City of Minnetonka's history page names Groveland as one of four small commercial areas that grew up two to three miles apart, with farms and homes in between. Groveland Park, at 16710 Cottage Grove Ave., carries a Wayzata mailing address with the 55391 ZIP code, so some homes here may show Wayzata on their mail even though they are in Minnetonka.

Homes in Groveland
The city's land use plan says Groveland was one of the first areas to develop as a neighborhood, starting in the 1930s. Homes then were single-family houses on one-third to one-half acre lots served by private septic systems and wells, and small stores followed the houses. The city's history page says sewer and water lines replaced septic systems in most of Minnetonka in the mid-1970s. We check each home's current utility setup and build year before you buy.
Parks and places nearby
Groveland Park has a picnic area and accessible play equipment. Gray's Bay Causeway Park, at Highway 101 and the North Gray's Bay Bridge, offers fishing and off-street parking on the lake. The city's land use plan also names the Gray's Bay and Libbs Lake areas next to Groveland as part of the same early wave of neighborhoods.
Getting around and schools
Highway 101 crosses Gray's Bay at the causeway park. Hopkins, Minnetonka and Wayzata school districts each cover part of Minnetonka, according to the city. Since a Wayzata mailing address does not tell you the school district, we confirm it with the district for each house.
