Older homes that have been newly renovated and new construction
Along the wide streets in Lakeview, you’ll mostly find a mix of 1920s bungalows and 1960s ranch-style homes painted in pastel shades, with a few cottages, Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals peppered in. Properties hitting the market are often recently renovated, though there’s also a growing number of brand-new builds. “A lot of new development is going on in the area,” says Leslie Dale, a Realtor with Keller Williams Connected, who describes the community as up-and-coming. “We built four houses there. They were sold as investment properties…They were nice: three- and four-bedroom, wonderful kitchens with custom cabinets. The islands are 10 to 12 feet long.”
