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.
