Welcome to Forest Lakes — Charlottesville’s Family-Friendly Oasis of Lakes, Trails, and Community Spirit! 🌳🏡🎣

Hey future Forest Lakes neighbor! Imagine a neighborhood where kids pedal bikes to the community pool, families fish at sunset by the lake, and friends gather for cookouts under towering trees. Forest Lakes isn’t just a subdivision—it’s a vibe for those who want space to breathe, play, and connect. Let’s explore your new backyard!


Why Forest Lakes? Let’s Dive In 🎉

  1. Nature’s Playground 🚣♀️🌲
    Two sparkling lakes for fishing, kayaking, or lazy afternoon picnics. Miles of wooded trails for hiking and biking. Plus, Forest Lakes Park—think playgrounds, sports fields, and a splash pad for summer fun.

  2. Family-First Living 👨👩👧👦🎒
    Top-rated Albemarle County schools (Baker-Butler Elementary is a gem!), youth sports leagues, and a community center buzzing with camps and classes. Bonus: The annual Fall Festival (pumpkin carving, hayrides!) is everything.

  3. Convenience Meets Serenity 🛒🍃
    5 minutes to UVA and Rio Road shopping (Target, Whole Foods, you name it!). Yet, streets here wind past ponds and pines—like living in a park that’s close to it all.

  4. Neighbors Who Feel Like Family 🍷🔥
    Block parties, book clubs, and summer concert series at the amphitheater. Pro tip: The Forest Lakes Swim & Tennis Club is where friendships (and cannonball contests) thrive.


Location, Location, Location! 🗺️

Forest Lakes sits in the sweet spot:

  • Charlottesville Downtown: 10 minutes (restaurants, theaters, UVA games!)

  • Shenandoah National Park: 35 minutes (hikes and Skyline Drive adventures)

  • Crozet/Ivy: 15-20 minutes (vineyards, breweries, and small-town charm).

Translation: Suburban ease with nature and culture at your doorstep.


The Forest Lakes Vibe: Chill, Active, and Unpretentiously Awesome 🚴♂️🌼

This is where you’ll:

  • Trade Netflix for stargazing at the lakeside fire pit.

  • Spot deer on your morning jog (or wild turkeys—they’re locals too).

  • Join the “Forest Lakes Foodie” Facebook group for cookie swaps and grill master tips.

  • Live that “kids running free” life (safe streets and sidewalks galore!).

From spacious single-family homes with big backyards (trampoline-ready!) to cozy townhomes with front-porch charm, Forest Lakes offers options for every stage. Love modern updates? Check. Want a fixer-upper with potential? Done. Pro tip: Many homes here come with bonus perks like screened porches or walking trails out back.
