E 72nd St & S Lakola Rd Area

Out here you're looking at genuine country acreage—properties routinely sit on multiple acres with pond views, pole barns, and enough room to actually breathe. The listings tell the story: log homes on five acres, farmhouses with hobby farm setups, detached garages and outbuildings that let you do whatever you want with the land. Recent updates are common (new roofs, furnaces, wells in 2022), which suggests people are actually investing in staying put rather than flipping. It's about a mile and a half to Hungerford Lake Recreation Area if you want a day out, and town is close enough that you're not completely isolated—but far enough that the countryside views feel genuine, not suburban. The trade-off is real: nearest restaurants and coffee are a couple miles away, so you're meal-planning and making your own coffee most mornings. But that's the point. This is where you come when you want land, privacy, and the kind of quiet that doesn't require an HOA to enforce it.
