'Shimmering lakes and rolling hills' in Twin Lakes
“Imagine waking up to the serene views of shimmering lakes and rolling hills every day,” says Benjamin Reeves, Realtor and CEO of the Titan Team at Keller Williams Realty. “It's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle yet conveniently close to all the amenities you need.” Twin Lakes, 22 miles from Charlottesville and 6 miles from Stanardsville, has three lakes within walking distance from most homes. The nearest commercial area is 10 minutes away, but the neighborhood has a secluded feel, making it seem more rural. The homeowners’ association oversees home cleanliness, aesthetics, street parking and other community aspects. Residents who violate the community rules will be fined. “It’s important to review HOA fees and regulations to ensure they align with your lifestyle,” says Reeves.
Lake Shenandoah is the largest of the three lakes in Twin Lakes.
Twin Lakes is a rural neighborhood in the shadow of Shenandoah Park.

Fishing in community lakes
Lake Skyline, Lake Shenandoah and Lake Greene are the area's main attractions. “People can fish,” says Peter Mcfarren, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Roy Wheeler Realty. Mcfarren has worked internationally in real estate for six years. “I haven’t seen anybody swim. There are walking paths and piers by the lakes and small creeks throughout the area.” Residents may get a community fishing license for free if they have a state one too. Nearby, Greene Community Park offers a playground for children to enjoy while families host get-togethers at the covered picnic tables. There’s an 18-hole disc golf course and hiking trails along with other outdoor activities.
