A one-owner, four-bedroom home is for sale in east Montgomery’s popular Lake Forest neighborhood. Lake Forest is bounded by McLemore Drive, Atlanta Highway, and the adjacent Arrowhead neighborhood.

“I personally live in Lake Forest,” Realtor Myra Pruit said. “And worked for builders when most of these homes were built.” She added that homes were first constructed in Lake Forest more than 25 years ago. Newer homes are located in the back of the neighborhood and near McLemore Drive on the west side of the development.

A Lake Forest address puts residents near big employers such as Baptist East hospital and AUM. The layout of the development formed several cul-de-sacs providing residents with an extra dose of privacy in the peaceful neighborhood.

A brick home at 7512 Forest Edge Lane in Lake Forest is for sale for $305,000. The four bedroom, three and a half bath design provides 2,073 square feet of living space.
