Lake Charleston is “a great place to raise a family”

From backyard fishing to meeting neighbors for tennis matches, Lake Charleston offers many avenues for suburban fun under the South Florida sun. Lake Charleston is a master-planned community 6 miles from Greenacres and 9 miles southwest of Fort Worth Beach. Residents enjoy sidewalk-lined streets that wind through manicured greenery and branch into homey cul-de-sacs. “The lakes and the sheer beauty of this place attract homebuyers,” says Wendi Davis, a Realtor with REMAX Prestige Realty Lake Worth, who has lived and worked in the neighborhood since 2012. “The schools are A-rated, the HOA fees are low, most subdivisions are not gated, and there is a ton of green space. It’s a great place to raise a family.”

Roomy Spanish eclectic homes

Lake Charleston’s leafy, suburban landscape spans over 1,100 acres of homes and lakes. Typical of Florida’s master-planned communities, especially those built in the 1990s, the neighborhood features Spanish eclectic single-family homes, complete with earthy tones, stucco siding, barrel roof tiles and elegant arches. These single-family properties are roomy, ranging from 1,800 to 3,400 square feet. Built-in garages and driveways are standard. In-ground backyard pools aren’t standard but are common. List prices range from $440,000 to $770,000 for single-family residences. A small selection of villas and townhouses crop up on the market occasionally, ranging from $360,000 to $500,000. “Homes retain their value here because the community goes above and beyond to maintain them,” Davis says. “This is why I also recommend Lake Charles to first-time homebuyers.”
