Chanhassen housing stock
Most Chanhassen housing is 1990s–current, with a significant inventory of executive homes. Newer doesn't mean defect-free — rushed construction cycles during the 2000s housing boom produced many homes with framing shortcuts, missed flashing details, and undersized HVAC systems for their square footage.
