Waconia Minnesota: Easy Minnesota Living 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I experienced a fantastic livelihood while living in Waconia Minnesota. The city is in Carver County. Waconia is close to Victoria Minnesota. The township has 5 stellar public schools and 2 progressive private schools locally. Waconia is a great place to relocate. There is ample ...Read More employment available and the housing communities are great. I love the layout of the communities. Everything is convenient for commuters. The cost of living here is very low. The town is growing, so it is becoming more and more diverse. The is no crime in the central and surrounding areas. Climates here can be hit and miss, but overall it is standard for the state of Minnesota.

Some of the best areas in Waconia Minnesota surround Waconia City Park. This is a great place for jogging, walking, family time, and other outdoor activities. The neighborhoods are actively involved in community ventures and festivals. The atmosphere of the town is easy going. Neighbors foster friendly, cohesive environments that create lasting friendships. This is a great town with caring people. Read Less
