Lake Forest is one of Round Rock’s most popular master planned communities with homes ranging from the $500,000s to the $1.1MMs. Lake Forest was built in the early to mid 2000’s by Meritage, Highland and Drees Homes. Community amenities include a pool, playground, hike and bike trails and community center. Lake Forest is most known for its creek that flows through the neighborhood and lush trees, making it feel almost like (as the name suggests) a “lake forest”. This type of landscape is rare for east Round Rock so Lake Forest is a unique section. Homes sit on larger, 1/4-1/3 acre lots, giving space between you and your neighbor. And, with somewhat recent construction you’ll still find the open floorplans and more modern features that you might see in a newer home, but you’ll have more space outside. If you’re looking for an established neighborhood in a highly rated school district, Lake Forest is a great place to start your search. Scroll Down to Read our Lake Forest Neighborhood Guide.
