A prime location at an accessible price
A trip down Lake Forest’s cozy streets, lined with palm and oak trees, can offer a look at the area’s tight-knit atmosphere. It did for Jeanette Pressman. “I notice the neighbors,” says Pressman, a local Realtor with Dezer Platinum Realty. “I’ve seen them gathered together, enjoying time together.” Residents here can bond over being in a section of West Park known for its location and home prices below the area average. “You’re not far from the beach. Probably a 10-, 15-minute drive,” says Pressman, who has 10 years of real estate experience. “And then you’re also near the Hard Rock Stadium. You’re going to be near a lot of highways, you’re between the Turnpike and I-95.”

Midcentury homes, sometimes with a view
This mostly residential area is, by and large, filled with single-story bungalow-style homes built in the 1950s. Some houses have been upgraded or remodeled, and floor plans average 1,160 square feet. All properties here have yard space on lots between one-tenth and one-fifth of an acre. Some homes in the neighborhood are on the waterfront, lining the area’s Lake Helen and Lake Margaret, which are open to non-motorized boating. Houses in Lake Forest sell for between $300,000 and $525,000 — the higher prices can come with options that have been renovated or that have extras like inground pools.

Bravo Supermarket is at quick reach
Many Lake Forest residents are within walking distance of conveniences like Bravo Supermarket, whose produce section is well-liked. Bravo shares a shopping center with Jenny’s Caribbean Bistro, a restaurant known for its Haitian food. Frank’s Italian is another hotspot in the area, one that’s been open since 1972. Frank’s is down the street from stores including Family Dollar and Dollar General and chain restaurants that include Subway and Checkers. Lake Forest is also home to Annunciation Catholic Parish and Korean Catholic Church.

Water Tower Park places outdoor fun close by
Another of the amenities within walking distance for people here is Water Tower Park. “It’s definitely one of the sights there for that area,” says Isael Prieto, owner and broker at Able CRE, and a South Florida native. This well-kept park features a covered playground area and a good bit of open field space. Pembroke Park Preserve is another, bigger option for outdoor time, in the neighboring town of Pembroke Park. This spot is popular for walks. Those looking for a beach day can follow Hallandale Beach Boulevard east to places like South City Beach Park, 4.5 miles away.
