Want to live in a small town where you can walk to the coffee shop, a park, a community center, your church?
If so, you must consider the Village of Lake Park NC. The Village of Lake Park was designed by its developers in the mid-1990s to create a small town atmosphere where individuals and families in every life stage could find a place to live and the community organizations and amenities that enhance a small town lifestyle. In the process, the Lake Park designers created Union County's most walkable town.
