LakePark at Tradition
Two Clubhouses, One All-Inclusive HOA

Minto's 55+ community inside Tradition — now built by GHO/Kennedy Homes — gives residents their own resort clubhouse plus full access to the adjacent TownPark clubhouse. The HOA is genuinely all-inclusive: cable, high-speed internet, and even a landline are bundled in. Here's the real math.

Age-Restricted

LakePark at Tradition is one of the more misunderstood communities in the Tradition master plan — partly because it shares its name and amenities with the adjacent, all-ages TownPark. Here's the clear version: LakePark is the true 55+ age-restricted community, started by Minto in 2015 and continued by GHO/Kennedy Homes through 2023, totaling 644 maintenance-free single-family homes and villas.

Homes run 1,565 to roughly 2,300 square feet — two to three bedrooms, two to two-and-a-half baths, attached two-car garages. The defining feature is the HOA: it's all-inclusive in a way few communities match, covering cable TV, high-speed internet, a landline phone, alarm monitoring, lawn care and full irrigation, security, and resort amenities. That bundle is why LakePark's HOA looks higher than a bare-bones community's — it's doing more work.

The All-Inclusive HOA Includes a Landline — Read the Fee Correctly

LakePark's ~$430–$510/month HOA bundles cable TV, high-speed internet, a landline phone, alarm monitoring, lawn care, full irrigation, and security. When you compare it to a community quoting a "$280 HOA," remember you'd add back $150+/month for cable and internet there. Compare all-in, not headline-to-headline.
