Lake Hills

Mid-century lots with trails, space, and potential

Overview

Lake Hills began in the 1950s with wide lots and modest homes, many of which have been updated over time. Its layout includes mature trees, sidewalks, and access to nearby lakes and greenbelt trails. While close to shopping areas and main roads, the neighborhood retains a consistent residential atmosphere shaped by its original design.

Local Lifestyle

Familiar streets, local parks, and simple days.

With mature trees and calm streets, Lake Hills feels tucked in—but not far from anything. Quick access to retail and local parks keeps daily life simple and fun.

Daily Life, Seen From the Inside

  • Light afternoon breeze moving through mature trees along the greenbelt
  • Yard tools leaned neatly by the fence after a morning outside
