Lake Effect | Faces of West Lakes
West Lakes is more than just buildings. Our neighborhood is about real people who eat, sleep, and play with their children to those enjoying retirement.
Our neighbors are both well off and lack. They are former educators, city employees or currently unemployed. West Lakes Partnership thought it was important to tell the stories of the divine people of our neighborhoods. Alongside their portrait, we’ve included a quote and brief story from their lives.
