What sets price here is condition and vintage, not location alone. The Lakes @ Westland spans homes built from 1968 through 2005, with the middle of the pack landing around 2001 and a median footprint just over 2,100 square feet. That range means two homes on the same street can trade very differently depending on how much updating has been done, so price is condition-driven and the spread is wide.
With 193 homes and a homestead share near 78%, this is a lived-in, owner-occupied community rather than a churn-heavy investor pocket. For a seller, that stability tends to keep inventory measured; for a buyer, it means you are usually competing for a primary residence, and the homes that show well move on their own merits. Price accordingly to condition, not to a headline number.

The Lakes @ Westland market snapshot (as of August 21, 2026): the median sale price is about $325K ($159 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 54 days on market for closed sales.

The The Lakes @ Westland buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Lakes @ Westland today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in The Lakes @ Westland.
A vintage spread that rewards a close look
The build range from 1968 to 2005 is unusually broad for a single community, and it matters. Older homes here predate the median build year of 2001 by decades, which means systems, layouts, and finishes vary a great deal from one property to the next. Do not assume the house you tour represents the street.
At a median of roughly 2,167 living square feet, these are not starter-scale homes, but square footage alone won't tell you value. Because condition drives so much of the pricing here, the practical work is inspection and comparison: two similar floor plans can sit far apart on price once you account for updates, roof and HVAC age, and finish level.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Lakes @ Westland. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here

We read The Lakes @ Westland at the property level, sort the recent activity by what's genuinely comparable, and tell you plainly when a listing is priced for its finishes and when it isn't.
