Shutter BoysInterior shutters in Minnetonka
Minnetonka's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Minnetonka's warmest month is July, at an average high of 82.3°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 7°F.
Highs stay at 80°F or more from July: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Edina, 6 miles away, has 13 days a year at 90°F or more, more than Minnetonka's 9.

Living rooms on winter evenings
156 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 15 h 36 min here, so east-facing bedrooms get light very early. Full-height panels with the louvers closed keep most of it out; a mounting frame closes the gaps around the edges.
Short winter days
In December there are only 8 h 46 min of daylight here. Open the louvers fully, or swing the panels back, to let every hour of it into the room.
Room by room in Minnetonka
The median home in Minnetonka has 6.5 rooms, and the most common has four or more bedrooms. That's a lot of rooms to cover at once; most owners start with the bedrooms and the street-facing living room. In Edina, 6 miles away, the figure is 6.7 rooms.
27% of workers here worked from home in the 2020–2024 survey years, more than in 91% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. A home office is often the next room shuttered. In Edina, 6 miles away, it's about the same: 29% worked from home.
