LAKE WALKER
Spacious yards and colorful gardens, just east of York Road
Located on the east side of York Road north of Northern Parkway, Lake Walker was farmland just a century ago. Fittingly, an abundance of green space has been preserved, and it’s sometimes hard to remember that Lake Walker is still (just) within the city limits. Plant-filled yards attest to the neighborhood’s many avid gardeners who sponsor a popular plant sale each spring. Residents tend to be eco-conscious and work to retain and improve the natural beauty of the area. In September, this open and friendly community holds a well-attended block party.
Home styles: A pleasant mix of two- and three-story frame cottages, large Tudor townhomes, bungalows, brick townhomes, and even a few apart- ments. Spacious yards and colorful gardens knit together a range of homes.
Walk to: Upscale Belvedere Square with its array of restaurants and shops, including Atwater’s, Ceriello Fine Food, and Grand Cru wine bar and shop. Also walk to the Senator Theatre and York Road shopping. Good bus service on both Northern Parkway and York Road.
Home Prices: The median price is $214,000, compared to nearby Cedar- croft, where home prices can be double that.
