Lake Arbor offers suburban living near the DC metro
Lake Arbor, nestled within the DC metropolitan area, underwent significant changes in the 1980s when community developers built 2,000 luxury houses featuring two-car garages and brick exteriors. Today the area remains a suburban oasis of single-family houses on spacious lots and a wide variety of parks. As a suburb, Lake Arbor consists of cul-de-sacs and winding roads of single-family houses. Known for being a master-planned community, the area offers plenty of sidewalks and well-groomed landscaping. “It’s a really nice area for families. The houses are on the larger side. There are a lot of trees growing there,” says Tommy Sowole, Realtor with Delta Exclusive Realty, LLC. Lot sizes within Lake Arbor average around 18,000 square feet. Much of the architecture features Colonial Revivals, town houses and Dutch Colonials. As for sales prices, prospective buyers can expect a range between $295,000 for a smaller town house to $615,000 for a four-bedroom Colonial Revival.
Many of the homes in Lake Arbor have multi-car driveways and attached garages.
