neighborhood as “a little bit
of heaven tucked away. ”
Hibert Margol, below, who has lived
in Lakeview Oaks for almost 25 years,
worries that construction in nearby
Brook Run Park will bring more
water into neighbors’ backyards.
er as they walk around
Village Drive. Recently,
the community host
ed a pot-luck dinner to
show support for a res
ident who has been di
agnosed with ALS, also
known as Lou Geh
rig’s disease. “We’re ral
lying around one of
our neighbors,” Bever
ly Armento, one of the
plaintiffs in the law
suit, said as she ges
tured toward the crowd
of 50 or so gathered at a
nearby condominium clubhouse. “This
is Lakeview Oaks.”
Residents say the population of the
community is aging. Strickland guessed
that perhaps two-thirds of the residents
now are retirees. Margol said that shows
in community events that typically cen
ter on kids. “There’s no such thing as
Halloween here,” Margol said. “We’ve
stayed home [on Halloween] with a big
basket of candy and not given out one
piece.”
Still, long-time residents seem fine
with that. Sanford and Joan Baskin
moved in when his job brought him
south from Minneapolis about 26 years
ago. Now retired, they like living in
Lakeview Oaks just fine. “It’s a very close
community in many ways,” Joan Baskin
said. “It’s still very close. We help each
other in many ways.”
They found the place more or less by
accident. “Someone told us about the
townhouses at the top of the hill,” Joan
Baskin said. They took a look, but “we
decided we didn’t want a townhouse.
We drove down here and didn’t leave.”
