Living at
A Master-Planned Neighborhood in Blaine
159 acres of interconnected waterways
The large central waterbody is intended to impart community identity, a sense of place, long views with a horizon, open space and seasonal recreational opportunities. The Lakes connect neighborhoods both visually and physically and provide opportunities for people to gather or meet.
Hop in your kayak or pontoon and spend an afternoon gliding along the 5 connected lakes in the neighborhood. Your experience is sure to be peaceful without the presence of noisy, gas-powered motorboats.
Miles of Walking Paths
15 miles to be exact. Also included are 4 miles of dedicated bike paths, and a 2 mile stretch of the regional parks trail system. Enjoy the tree lined boulevards and spectacular lake views as you walk, bike or skate along The Lakes' pedestrian trail system.
If a leisurely stroll isn't your idea of fun, a park, recreational area, or future commercial development should prove to be a perfect destination for your travels.
Parks
Parks and open space will include a 22 acre park and a 68 acre park to the east, adjacent to the City's open spaces. The natural area includes wooded upland, wetlands and a pedestrian nature trail that connects The Lakes to the abutting City's open space. At the north shoreline of the central lake is a civic park and beach area with a regional trail that connects it to neighborhoods and to the City's open space system, including Pioneer and Lochness Parks. The civic park and beach area could include concession facilities for boats, canoes, paddle boats, and kayak rentals as well as a warming house for winter skating and skiing activities, a civic space for art events or a farmers market and other community events.
