Serving All of Lakes and Birds
The Lakes and Birds neighborhood is oft-recognized as two separate, yet connected, communities. The Lakes residences run along the eastern edge of the neighborhood, while the Birds section lies on the west side. The community moniker links back to the way the streets are named after popular bird species and local lakes. This region boasts a high livability score due to its excellent school system, comfortable climate and popular amenities.
