Designed to offer homes and neighborhoods appealing to all life stages, Lake Park has a number of opportunities for those who wish one story living.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;rsquo;s a great place to find a ranch home.&amp;nbsp; Some of Lake Park&amp;rsquo;s ranches are on lots of a quarter to one third acre and the homeowner takes care of the yard maintenance.&amp;nbsp; Other single level homes in Lake Park are the patio homes in the Garden District where the lots are smaller and lawn care is provided for the residents.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.carolinasmalltownliving.com/photos/carol_fox_matthews_real_estate/picture644545.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="309" src="http://www.carolinasmalltownliving.com/photos/carol_fox_matthews_real_estate/images/644545/640x480.aspx" style="width:335px;height:237px;" width="328" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;A condominium with garden-style or one level units is also available for seniors and active adults who want no exterior home maintenance at all.&amp;nbsp; These garden condos are located in the Lake Park Town Center within walking distance of shops and the village green.&amp;nbsp; This Lake Park condominium building consists of three-story buildings with elevator access.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lake Park NC lifestyle is ideal for seniors and active adults.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Property taxes are low and homeowners association fees are reasonable as well.&amp;nbsp; The entire town is small with the Town Center shops and a number of parks and ponds serving as destinations for walkers and joggers.&amp;nbsp; The Village also has a seniors group called SAGES that meets on the second Friday of each month for social activities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.carolinasmalltownliving.com/photos/carol_fox_matthews_real_estate/picture644546.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="314" src="http://www.carolinasmalltownliving.com/photos/carol_fox_matthews_real_estate/images/644546/640x480.aspx" style="width:304px;height:213px;" width="352" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn more about Lake Park NC.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0066a7" size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.carolinasmalltownliving.com/blogs/carol_fox/archive/2008/10/20/lake-park-nc-union-county-s-most-walkable-town.aspx" title="Lake Park NC--Union County&amp;#39;s Most Walkable Town" target="_blank"&gt;Lake Park NC:&amp;nbsp;
