Watertown homes for sale include older in-town homes and newer subdivisions in a Carver County river town on the South Fork Crow River, west of Waconia and Minnetrista.
What is it like living in Watertown?
Living in Watertown means a small downtown, river parks and the Luce Line State Trail, a long crushed-limestone trail that runs east toward Plymouth and west toward Hutchinson.
Watertown usually offers more house and yard per dollar than the lake towns closer in. Buyers often pair it with Waconia in a search for newer homes.
Watertown-Mayer Public Schools serves the city. Commutes run on Highway 25 and County Road 10 to Highway 12 or Highway 7.
Compare the nearby communities in the west metro area guide, or request your home value if selling is part of your move.
