Doubletree Lake Estates
Sources conflict — high $300,000s to $2,000,000+
The flagship gated community of this market, on a spring-fed lake with 24-hour guarded entry. The Winfield location is a feature, not a footnote: the town is repeatedly described as having among the lowest tax rates in the area, and residents still get Crown Point schools. One feeder school is Jerry Ross Elementary, named for the NASA astronaut from Crown Point. Published price ranges here disagree materially — ask me for actual closed sales before you anchor on a number.
School Assignment
Crown Point schools, Winfield municipality — confirm in writing
Not every Crown Point mailing address is in Crown Point Community School Corporation. Parts of the greater Crown Point area — including Ross Township and areas north of 101st Avenue — can fall under Merrillville or Lake Central schools. Confirm assignment through the district office directly — never from a listing sheet.
