The Lakes at Valley West
Homes around two lakes on the west edge of Valley West.
The short answer: The Lakes at Valley West is the final phase of Valley West, at the corner of Durston and Cottonwood, built around two lakes totaling about 12 acres. It combines lakeside living with mountain views and “living streets” designed for people more than cars.
The homes
Homes are newer single-family homes and attached homes, many oriented to the water or the mountains. Lakefront and lake-view homes carry a premium.
Living here
The lakes and the paths around them are the main attraction, and the narrow, shared “woonerf” streets slow traffic and encourage neighbors to be outside. Gallatin High and the Regional Park are close.
Why buyers like it
Two lakes totaling about 12 acres, mountain views, and pedestrian-friendly living streets, close to Gallatin High and the Regional Park.
Worth knowing
Lake-facing homes cost more, and the shared streets mean less on-street parking. HOA covenants apply.
