West of Caldwell, Texas, the Cade Lakes neighborhood is built around its namesake bodies of water. Impounded in 1964, the man-made lakes draw in residents looking for an opportunity to be waterfront. The area is growing, with plenty of land available for buyers wanting to build a waterside retreat, and the lots are unrestricted. “It’s affordable, which is the first thing that comes to people’s minds, and it’s unrestricted,” says Kristen Orostieta, owner of ORO Realty in nearby Caldwell, Texas. “People who are wanting to bring an RV and still have access to water and enjoy the lakes out there, they are able to do that without any kind of HOA or anyone specifically telling them what they can do with their property.” And despite the quiet, isolated nature of the neighborhood, it’s easy to get to, sitting right off State Highway 21.

Recreation on Cade Lakes
The neighborhood's main attractions are its three lakes, with houses laid out along the banks. A few homes have small docks for canoes or other small watercraft. Residents don’t need a fishing license to cast a line in the lakes, where they can catch catfish or black bass. “It’s more of a ‘fishing and view’ lake,” Orostieta says. “They are small, so there might be some kayaks out there but nothing motorized.”
