Terry Lake
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Terry Lake is named for the small private lake at its center, ringed by ranch-style homes from the 1960s and 1970s that run 1,300 to 3,400 square feet, with newer estates filling in through the 2000s. Thompson Park sits about a quarter mile away for additional open space, and Main Street is close enough for a quick trip to downtown shopping. US-287 and Ken Pratt Boulevard are both a short drive, and Hover Street runs north-south along the area's eastern edge. Prices span $410K to $845K across the mix of older ranches and larger newer builds, with median values up in recent years.
