A LOVELY NEIGHBORHOOD TO CALL HOME
We love sharing information about one of our favorite neighborhoods, Forest Lakes. Actually, many of you will know that there are really two Forest Lakes...north and south...they surround the Hollymead area and include Hollymead elementary and Sutherland middle schools (Some students from Forest Lakes North go to the new Baker Butler elementary school, just down the road). Forest Lakes is on Rt. 29 just 10 minutes from Charlottesville and only one mile from the Charlottesville airport.

Yes, as the name implies...there are lakes, 6 of them to be exact. All are easily accessed from the miles of walking trails inside the community, and you'll probably meet your neighbors there. In fact, if you made up your mind not to leave the community, you could still access groceries, restaurants, car wash, banks, pharmacies, boutiques, fitness centers, shopping centers...and Martha Jefferson hospital has a facility just across the street. Did we mention basketball (a personal favorite, mustn't leave that out) Okay, so far we've resisted the urge to use the word "location". But we must. Why not boast about a perfect location? (If you commute to D.C., it's even better, you've got a head start).

As you might suspect, this community is wonderful for all ages and interests. Retirees, singles, young families, newlyweds, military personel, grad students, and one ornery old cuss....all happily coexist here. Forest Lakes has seen a great increase in home values in recent years and it remains a terrific area for resale investment. Here's a link to
