The Homes in Lake Park

Lake Park is a small, gated community of larger, newer single-family homes. The gated entrance and Lock 4 Road setting give the neighborhood a private, upscale character close to Old Hickory Lake.

The most recent closed sale in RealTracs was a five-bedroom home of about 3,317 square feet built in 2016 on a one-acre lot, which sold for $722,000. Homes here favor larger floor plans on generous lots, appealing to buyers who want newer construction, space, and privacy near the lake.
