Living in Victoria's Downtown West Expansion
The location connects small-town downtown with parks, trails, and regional employers. Here is what surrounds the community.
Part of the Downtown West Victoria Development
Olivine is Phase I of Victoria's Downtown West, a 145-unit building approved by the City and completed as the first residential piece of the district. The city's plan calls for Downtown West to grow into a walkable, mixed-use extension of downtown with new storefronts, restaurants, housing, and public gathering spaces. Living here means being part of that expansion as it takes shape along Highway 5 and the edge of the park reserve.
Parks, Trails, and Steiger Lake
The 3,719-acre Carver Park Reserve sits at the edge of the neighborhood, with miles of paved bike and hike trails and the Lowry Nature Center for year-round programs. Steiger Lake and Bayfront Park are steps from the building, and downtown Victoria has a trailhead for the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail. The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, partially located in the city, is a short drive east.
Highways, Commutes, and Employers
Highways 5, 7, and 212 give residents direct routes to Chaska, Eden Prairie, Excelsior, and downtown Minneapolis, with Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport reachable for travel. Major Twin Cities employers are within commuting range, including UnitedHealth Group and Cargill in the nearby western suburbs, Best Buy in the metro to the east, and agtech firm Pivot Bio, which recently based its headquarters in nearby Minnetonka. Local businesses downtown add options closer to home.
Dining and Downtown Victoria
Downtown Victoria's dining sits within walking distance, from The Noble Lion and Winchester & Rye to Ruby's Roost Bakery & Coffee and Vic's Bar and Grill. Bayfront Park hosts seasonal gatherings along the lake, and farmers markets and festivals fill out the local calendar. The walkable downtown setting puts dining, parks, trails, and community events close to home.
