The Lakehouse is the heart of the neighborhood, serving as a space for gathering, musical events, and a rich calendar of social activities and programs. Other classic amenities include tennis courts and a swimming pool. The abundance of engaging activities makes this lively and thriving neighborhood a destination for mountain living.
