Join the Opening List →Wayzata sits at the northeast tip of Lake Minnetonka around Wayzata Bay, about 11 miles from downtown Minneapolis, and had 4,434 residents at the 2020 census. It is compact and walkable, with a lakefront downtown that grew out of the railroad era.
When TotalCare Cleaning comes to the Lake Minnetonka area, Wayzata will be part of the coverage. This page explains what is particular about homes here.
The railroad reached Wayzata in 1867 and brought visitors from Minneapolis and St. Paul to the lake steamers, and the resort era peaked by 1890. The Wayzata Depot still stands on the lakefront from that time, and today it houses the Greater Wayzata Area Chamber of Commerce and the Wayzata Historical Society.
Along the Ferndale shore, families including the Bells, Pillsburys and Washburns built large country estates from the 1890s on. That mix of a historic core, estate properties and a modern downtown is still what defines the city.
Wayzata's housing does not look like a typical suburb's. Census estimates show about 44 percent of units sit in buildings with 20 or more units, and only about 40 percent are single family detached houses. About 40 percent of the housing was built in 2000 or later.
About 41 percent of occupied homes are rented, one of the higher shares around the lake. For cleaning, that means a lot of one and two bedroom condos with large windows and lake views, plus older detached houses on the hills and shoreline. Condos with floor to ceiling glass show every water spot, and older homes carry more trim and detail.
Wayzata also allows accessory dwelling units, but either the main home or the ADU must be owner occupied, and a rented ADU needs a city rental license. Owners who rent out an ADU may want a Moving Clean between tenants.
Wayzata's drinking water comes from three wells, 100 to 507 feet deep, drawing from the Prairie du Chien-Jordan and Quaternary Buried Artesian aquifers. Deep groundwater like this carries plenty of minerals, so glass shower doors and faucets build up white spots unless the home has a softener. The hard water guide covers how to handle it.
Every April the city flushes its water mains, and it warns that flushing can temporarily discolor tap water. Watch laundry until the water runs clear, and hold off on white loads during flushing week.
Republic Services picks up Wayzata garbage and recycling on Mondays, with garbage at the curb before 7 a.m. Trash from a cleaning visit goes into your own bins, so a visit late in the week leaves bins fuller for longer. Monday or Tuesday visits line up best with pickup.
Winter adds a parking rule. Wayzata bans parking on public streets starting at 2 a.m. after a snowfall of 2 inches or more, until the street is plowed to the curb. Condo owners should confirm guest parking with their building, and house owners should keep a driveway spot clear.
