Lakewood Creek is Montgomery’s largest master-planned community — singles, townhomes, and duplexes built 2001–2009 around a residents’ clubhouse, outdoor pool, tennis courts, and an on-site SD 308 elementary school, recently trading from the mid $200s to about $450K.
Lakewood Creek is the community most buyers picture when they think of Montgomery’s growth years — a 1,000-plus-home master plan south of US 30 and west of Orchard Road, built out by Lakewood Homes (with William Ryan Homes in the West section) between 2001 and 2009. It’s the village’s biggest single concentration of housing variety: two-story singles, duplexes, townhomes, and condo buildings share the same street network, parks, and amenity core.
The amenities are the calling card: a residents’ clubhouse at 2799 Oakmont Drive with an outdoor pool and tennis courts, plus ponds, trails, and neighborhood parks threaded through the community. Lakewood Creek Elementary (Oswego SD 308) sits inside the subdivision on Lakewood Creek Drive — a genuine walk-to-school setup for much of the community.
The number every buyer needs to understand before offering here: most single-family homes in Lakewood Creek carry a separate infrastructure special assessment of roughly $1,600 per year (paid over 28 years and reducible by prepayment), on top of the $452/yr master HOA and the village’s backup SSA. Attached sections add sub-association fees of roughly $27–$105 a month. None of that is a dealbreaker — recent sales from the mid $200s (attached) to about $450K (largest singles) price it in — but it changes the monthly math, and we put the exact figures for the specific address in front of every client.
Pricing reflects Lakewood Creek sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
The attached sections deliver Montgomery’s most attainable ownership — roughly 930–1,700 sq ft, two to three bedrooms, with sub-association fees covering exterior work. Steady demand from first-time buyers and downsizers keeps these moving fast.
Two-story singles from the 2001–2009 wave, roughly 1,600–3,400 sq ft with two-car garages and full basements. The 2025 median landed near $340K. Factor the ~$1,600/yr special assessment into any payment comparison.
