New construction homes are popular
Evergreen-lined streets meander throughout the neighborhood, with homes tucked into pockets of woodland and around the namesake lake. The neighborhood comprises developments with townhomes, condos and single-family houses. Architectural styles are a mix, including mid-century ramblers, bi-levels and contemporary new construction. Yard sizes run the gamut from a few thousand square feet to 1/3 acre, appropriate for gardens and sitting areas, and most homes have garages. "There are opportunities to buy a house on the lakefront," Cressey says. Prices in the area range from $500,000 for a rambler and up to $1.5 million for a home on the lake or with acreage. Most homes have garages, and sidewalks are predominant throughout. Not all areas have Home Owner Association dues; however, those that do pay anywhere from $65 to around $100 a month.
