Golf and tennis enthusiasts will especially adore Silver Lake. Along Lakewood Road, you can play singles or doubles at the Silver Lake Tennis Courts. A short drive away (along Victory Boulevard), you can reserve your tee time at the Silver Lake Golf Course. In addition to these top amenities, there is also a dog park, sports fields, and hiking trails.
 
Residential properties in Silver Lake are in high demand. Many single-family homes are grand and beautiful with a range of architectural styles. Buyers searching for a house with ample square footage and rooms—and who desire a higher degree of privacy and quiet—should consider relocating to Silver Lake.
