NORWOOD YOUNG AMERICA
COMMUNITY GUIDE 2025
NYA- more than a place, it’ s home
Willkommen! Welcome to Norwood Young America, an amazing place to live and work! We are a growing community with nearly 3,900 residents and many new and established businesses- commercial, industrial and manufacturing.
Norwood Young America has many wonderful amenities for young families and older adults. There are beautiful parks and trails, the best outdoor pool in Carver County, a skate park, a wonderful spacious library, a hockey / broomball rink, tennis courts, several ballfields and Willkommen Heritage Center. In addition, there are several options for a fantastic education experience, including District 108 Central Public Schools, St. John’ s Lutheran School, Emmanuel Lutheran School and Cologne Academy.
Senior citizens have several wonderful options for senior housing. In addition to aging in pace, Oak Grove Senior Residence and the Villa at Peace Village remain options for our most independent seniors. There is assisted living housing available at the Harbor at Peace Village and The Haven and for our most vulnerable seniors, The Haven also offers a memory care unit.
The city thanks its many partners within the community. The local fire department and first responders are an all-volunteer force that works to keep the community safe and healthy. There is a vibrant Chamber of Commerce that partners with the city to support current and new businesses in the community. There are many civic organizations that are incredibly active in meeting the needs of citizens and beyond. The Norwood Young America and West Carver Lions support local parks and sponsor many local events. The beautiful Veteran’ s Park with its Freedom Rock and Walkway of Honor is just one of many projects of VFW Post 1783 and American Legion Post 343. There are so many opportunities for volunteers to serve the community- the Willkommen Heritage Center Board, Yellow Ribbon Committee, Girls Scouts and Boys Scouts of America, in addition to our local commissions and churches.
This growing community is located at the crossroads of state highways 212 and 5, just 25 minutes west of the metro area, and 40 minutes from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. There are both residential and commercial lots available for purchase. Please contact City Hall at 952-467-1800 for additional information.
Residents look forward to annual events like NYA Springfest Artisan Fair, Music in the Parks, Taste of NYA and Stiftungsfest. Norwood Young America isn’ t just a great place to visit- its the perfect place to call home.
