The neighborhood’s 500 homes sit on spacious, well-maintained lots amid mature trees.

A clubhouse and community pool with an on-duty lifeguard are a few of the amenities provided to residents. Residents of Five Lakes and Patriot’s Landing share access to the lakes, paying a monthly fee of $40 to maintain them. It’s a small price for residents to pay for the ability to fish, kayak or canoe in the private waters. Meanwhile, Rock Creek Villas caters to the 55-plus crowd, with 60 ADA-friendly homes overlooking the Brookwoods Golf Course. Residents enjoy a clubhouse adjacent to a wildlife-protected nature area, two ponds with lighted fountains, paved walkways and a large gazebo. The homes are maintenance-free, all-brick exterior single-family homes. These single-story homes are designed with mobility challenges in mind, each home being ADA-compliant. Home prices in the area range from $265,000 to $800,000.Parks

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
