THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Kalahari`s indoor waterpark is a 7-min drive, so a rainy fall day still ends in slides and a lazy river. Emerald Lakes is a wooded lake community with its own beach, lake and playground. Pine Tree Lake, with swimming and a playground on your amenity badge, is about a 5-minute walk. Our fall picks: Camelback Mountain Adventures (14-min drive), Mount Airy Casino Resort and its golf course (15-min drive), Great Wolf Lodge, Pocono Raceway and The Crossings Premium Outlets, each under 9 miles away. Community rules are real here: amenity passes, a 25 mph limit and registered cars.

GETTING AROUND
Everything we recommend is a short drive: Kalahari 7 minutes, Camelback 14, Mount Airy 15, with restaurants and groceries close by. Park up to 6 cars in the driveway; the Tesla Level 2 charger and 50 amp outlet charge one EV at a time. The community speed limit is 25 mph and cars must display the association ID.
