Waterfront homes are especially prized, offering direct access for fishing, canoeing, and paddle boating right from the backyard.
Lifestyle and Amenities
The centerpiece of the community is Islands Park, which features basketball and sand volleyball courts, a bocce ball court, and a community dock on the lake. Many homes also have private docks, and the interconnected lakes make the neighborhood a haven for residents who enjoy water recreation without leaving home.
