Hidden Lake is a resale community with no new construction. As with any condominium, review the association budget, reserves, insurance and recent inspection reports, and confirm pet, rental and parking rules before you make an offer. Because phases were built in different years, compare the age and condition of each building's roof and major systems. An attached garage is a practical plus in a condominium community. Contact Janelle Mertins for Hidden Lake listings or a private tour.

Janelle is fantastic. We recently were able to sell our home in one week at 1% over asking price. I believe that the professional photos and staging coupled with Janelle helping us price competitively led to this success. We closed in one month and are so very grateful for Janelle and her help with the sale of our property.

She was also very proactive with recommendations on how to get our house ready for sale, and she went above and beyond to make sure our house was sparkling clean and staged appropriately to make sure our house stood out compared to others.
