A neighborhood that has come to a grinding halt, not much going on around Jeffers Waterfront in Prior Lake. With roads not finished and rolling hills running over 300 acres, it was hard to find any signs of life of construction.
Located in Prior Lake, off Dakota Avenue and County Road 42 (Click Here For A Google Map). The area has been struggling to keep things going and homeowners wanting to sell taking a big hit on what they previously paid for.
From the StarTrib article that originally pointed out the struggling subdivision:
Jeffers Waterfront remains half-built. Some streets in the 330-acre scenic development lead nowhere. The neighborhoods are pocked by empty houses and ghost lots with mailboxes. Mainstreet is suing Wensmann’s companies to recover $23 million.
Heres is my thought on the area, there are plenty of for sale signs up and down County Road 42 selling acres for mixed use, residential or commercial. Instead of all these real estate developers trying to start another massive development that will stall out for years to come.
Why not just tag team some unfinished ones that have plenty of promise?
Jeffers Waterfront definitely has potential especially with the upscale shopping and dining sections. There isn’t much of anything after Highway 13 west that is convenient.
The master planned community has small neighborhoods within the community consisting of single family homes, detached townhomes, condos and townhouses.
