The master-planned community that built modern Pingree Grove — townhomes, condos, and single-family homes from 2005 onward, wrapped around a 30,000 sq ft community center, three pools, a dozen lakes, and a K–8 charter school.
Cambridge Lakes is the reason Pingree Grove grew from 124 residents to more than 10,000 in two decades. Cambridge Homes broke ground on the master plan in 2005, west of Route 47 and south of Route 72, and construction has continued in phases ever since — D.R. Horton and Ashton Woods are still building here in 2026. The result is a community that spans nearly every product type in one footprint: condo flats, two-story and ranch townhomes, duplexes, and single-family homes up to five bedrooms, plus the age-qualified Carillon enclave, which we cover in its own guide.
The amenity package is the calling card. The community center runs about 30,000 square feet with three pools, fitness space, and event rooms, and the neighborhood wraps around a dozen lakes with more than five miles of trails, ball fields, parks, and a skate park. The Cambridge Lakes Charter School — a public K–8 inside the neighborhood — means many students never cross a major road to get to class.
For buyers, Cambridge Lakes offers the widest price spread in town: resale townhomes from the high $200s, new D.R. Horton townhomes from about $319K, and single-family homes running from the mid $300s to the high $400s resale — with heavily optioned new builds reaching about $528K. Know the details before you offer: HOA tiers differ by section, and some parcels carry Special Service Area (SSA) line items on the tax bill. We verify both on every showing.
