Next-door neighbor Brenda Israels says she likes the friendliness of the neighbors, the wide diversity of architecture and the variety of people who live in Buck Lake Estates. The people are so interesting and come from such varied backgrounds. We have retirees, empty-nesters, singles, a few children, professional couples. And these people represent all walks of life. There are lawyers, a retired judge, a plumber, electrician, state employees, consultants, people in industry.
Most lots are an acre in size.
The yards on Charlais tend to be open on the street, blending into glens of trees around the houses and then opening up again into backyard gardens or swimming pool areas. Dawn and Phil Pollock like their house because the lot is open and meadow-like, but there are still trees for shade. There is always something blooming in someone's yard. Buck Lake adjoins the property of Alban Stewart who developed the neighborhood. In the winter, Maureen and Alan Peters can see the lake through the dense forest that buffers their lot from the lake.
