History in Pictures of Lake Country

(From the Lake Country Sales Brochure)  - “Lake Country Estates welcomes you and your family to the good life that comes with lakeside living. Located just 20 minutes north from Ft. Worth’s city center, 1800 acre Lake Country Estates offers resort living a "world apart" from the hustle and bustle of the crowded city. Families can enjoy golf, tennis, fishing, swimming, and horseback riding just minutes from their door. Since Lake Country is close to major arteries, residents are "freeway fast" to all points of the compass. And, when it comes to housing, property owner’s benefit from a concept rarely utilized in residential development... the practice of planning each home on an individual basis. Close to 500 homeowners in the $50,000 to $200,000 price range can demonstrate that no two homes are completely alike. With a church and convenience shopping center onsite, and a first class school system next door, Lake Country Estates offers everything home owners desire in the way of healthy outdoor recreation, nearby facilities, and the biggest benefit of all, friendly neighbors of similar interests and tastes.”
