Ward Lake
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $469K·Walkability 0.9/10·Schools 6.7/10
Driving out to this stretch takes about 45 minutes from downtown, which means you're trading urban pull for genuine distance—the kind of place where a lake isn't an afterthought but the whole reason you're here. Horseshoe Lake sits right at the edge of the property, offering immediate water access whether you're thinking kayak launches or just a place to watch the light change. The 99 acres give you real room to breathe, and Trufant Community Park is close enough for a quick trip when you want organized recreation without the drive. What you get out here is land, water, and the kind of separation that doesn't come with a commute penalty if you're working remotely or heading downtown occasionally—just not daily. It's the math a lot of people do when they decide the extra 15 minutes each way is worth what they gain on their own property line.
