Concept
Straus Park borrows development theory from several different sources, with the overriding theme of historic-period architecture, that features "front porch" and "back porch" living. Straus Park encompasses peaceful avenues, tree-lined sidewalks, a lake, and meadow parks all within close proximity. Residents enjoy the amenities and year-round activities planned at the Lakehouse, Straus Park's community center.
