Finding the right community to raise a family is about more than finding a house. It is about choosing a place that feels safe, connected, and inspiring every day. Hills Farm Lakes in Fremont, Nebraska checks every box. As one of the region’s most sought-after gated lake communities, it offers privacy, security, recreation, and the space families need to grow. With modern utilities, excellent schools nearby, and the craftsmanship of Jeff Wearden Homes, it is easy to see why more families are calling Hills Farm Lakes home.
1. Safety and Peace of Mind
Parents know that safety changes everything about how a community feels. Hills Farm Lakes was built with that in mind. As a gated private neighborhood, access is limited to residents and guests only, giving parents peace of mind and children the freedom to play and explore without heavy traffic or unwanted visitors.
The community’s quiet streets, well-lit pathways, and security measures create an environment where kids can ride bikes, fish along the shoreline, or play outside with friends. Families can enjoy outdoor life without worry, knowing their neighborhood is designed for both comfort and protection.
That sense of safety also enhances long-term property value. Homes in secure, gated developments often retain value better than open neighborhoods, which makes Hills Farm Lakes a smart investment for growing families.
2. Room to Grow Indoors and Out
Families thrive on space, and Hills Farm Lakes delivers plenty of it. Each homesite averages about 0.6 acres, giving families room for large backyards, outdoor entertaining spaces, and private docks. With over 160 acres of clear water and miles of shoreline, the community offers scenic lake views from nearly every angle.
Unlike tightly packed subdivisions, Hills Farm Lakes was designed to feel open and natural. Wide drives, generous setbacks, and thoughtful landscaping create a peaceful environment where every home has breathing room.
Working with Jeff Wearden Homes, families can design custom layouts to fit their lifestyle. Open-concept kitchens, flex rooms for work or play, and outdoor living spaces that connect seamlessly to the lake make every home functional and inviting. Every detail is tailored to work beautifully for family life while maintaining timeless curb appeal.
3. A Built-In Sense of Community
Hills Farm Lakes is more than a place to live. It is a place to belong. The neighborhood attracts people who share a love for lake life, outdoor recreation, and high-quality living. Neighbors wave as they pass on golf carts, families gather for bonfires along the shoreline, and friendships form naturally through shared experiences.
The community’s design encourages connection. Trails wind around the lakes, parks and common areas create gathering spots, and the slower pace of gated living fosters genuine relationships. It is not uncommon for families to come together for picnics, paddleboarding sessions, or evening walks as the sun sets over the water.
At Hills Farm Lakes, privacy and community go hand in hand. Families can enjoy the comfort of their own space while still being part of a friendly, welcoming neighborhood.
4. Year-Round Recreation at Your Doorstep
Weekends look different when you live on the water. Whether it is swimming, boating, fishing, or kayaking, recreation is always just steps away. Families can enjoy East Lake’s open boating zones for tubing and wakeboarding, while the planned West Lake will offer a quieter, pontoon-only no-wake area for leisurely cruising.
Beyond the water, Hills Farm Lakes features walking and biking trails, green space, and easy access to the nearby Platte River. It is a paradise for families who love the outdoors without the need for long drives.
Kids learn to appreciate nature, adults find stress relief in evening walks, and everyone shares the joy of living in a place designed around activity and adventure. Life here feels like a vacation, but it is home all year long.
