Tonka Bay homes for sale are mostly lakeshore and near-lake single-family homes in a small, residential city on the south shore of Lake Minnetonka, between Excelsior and Shorewood.
What is it like living in Tonka Bay?
Living in Tonka Bay means a quiet, mostly residential lake city with water on several sides and very little commercial traffic. Downtown Excelsior is a short drive for coffee, dinner and the Water Street shops.
Lakeshore lots here face protected south-shore water and bays toward Big Island, so homes trade on frontage, dock depth and view as much as the house itself. Marinas in town make it easy to keep a boat close by.
Minnetonka Public Schools serves Tonka Bay; confirm the assigned school for the exact address.
