About Excelsior

Excelsior is the historic lake town of Lake Minnetonka — a genuine walkable downtown of 19th-century storefronts on the water, with the Port of Excelsior marina and the beloved Excelsior Commons beach. Housing mixes Victorian-era homes, lake cottages, and newer infill within a small footprint.
