Two Distinct Neighborhood Sections: Westchester & Stoneglen
Danforth Lakes is made up of two beautiful neighborhoods — each with its own character.
Westchester — 88 Estate Homes
Homes in Westchester sit on larger homesites, allowing for wider floor plans and more outdoor living space. These properties originally sold at higher price points due to lot size — and lot size and footprint still influence value today.
Stoneglen — 133 Executive Homes
Stoneglen offers well-designed single-family homes, many with lake or preserve views, mature landscaping, and strong resale appeal.
Understanding the distinctions between Westchester and Stoneglen is important when evaluating value — and we’re always happy to walk you through it.
