"Families enjoying their house and yard"

We loved living in Dominion Lakes! Both sets of families that rented our home, after we transferred with the military, couldn't say enough good things about the house, neighborhood and wonderful neighbors. Still holding onto the home for life after the military.

Pros Cons
  1. Location
  2. Great neighbors
  3. Quietness
  4. Schools
  1. Tons of trick or treaters :)

Price: $250-$400k

Pros Cons
  1. Location North of bridges
  2. Safe neighborhood
  3. Good schools
  4. No jet noise
  1. Big lawns to mow

Price: $250-$400k

"Easy Access to Freeway"

While this attractive subdivision has large, newer homes, the general "feel" of the neighborhood is not particularly friendly. Due to some peculiar school boundaries, the high school students are bused 8 miles. The elementary students are bused 5 miles and the middle and intermediate students attend nearby, recently fully accredited schools. Due to it's location, the area serves as a traffic cut through. We had issues with speeding cars and juvenile crimes (street fights, parties).

Pros Cons
  1. Easy freeway access
  2. Large homes
  3. Newer homes
  1. Very noisy from Dominion Blvd
  2. Floods during semi-major storms
  3. Not Friendly
  4. Serves as a cut through from one area to another

Price: $250-$400k

  • Pet Friendly: Yes
  • Recommended: No
  • Appearance: suburban
