Hamilton Lakes, a quiet suburb of Greensboro, was founded as a town in 1920. The lake in the photo is part of the community and open only to community members. While the town was annexed by the City of Greensboro in 1957, the lake and recreational amenities remain private through private contributions and neighborhood association dues.

As you can see from the photo, Hamilton Lakes is very family oriented. There are two miles of trails, two lakes, a stream  and many other recreational opportunities. When Greensboro businessman A.M. Scales began developing the 1,600 acres for residences, it was known for its architectural momentum. With all of the home renovation happening, especially on Henderson Drive, it appears that momentum is continuing. However, at the heart of it all, is keeping the sense of strong community and opportunities to enjoy nature, regardless of architectural style or the sizes of homes.
