“I have known Jill Fitzpatrick, and her family long before she was a realtor. I was always impressed with their honesty, and strong work ethic. Knowing Jill had become a realtor I knew if I needed one I would use her. I was even more impressed with her knowledge, and expertise then I imagined I would be. I put my trust in her, sat back, and the results speak for themselves. I had 27 offers on my home, and sold well over asking price. Jill made it easy for me to negotiate the overwhelming offers I received, and helped me pick the most qualified buyer. My closing went off without a hitch. Jill had my house full of prospective buyers, which really produced results. I could not be more grateful, or impressed. Jill is simply the best, I'm blessed to have had her as a realtor, and even more blessed to call her my friend”

Lakeside real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lakeside real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Lakeside is seeing very limited inventory right now, with only 2 homes on the market in March 2026. That level has held steady month over month, even as new listings fell 25% from a year ago to just 6. Buyers are still active, with 8 pending sales matching last year’s pace and keeping the neighborhood in a seller’s market.
Pricing is reacting to this tight supply in nuanced ways. The typical home value in Lakeside reached $819,250 in March, up 16.04% from a year ago, and it currently sits slightly above Wakefield overall at $810,500.
Month to month, values have softened a bit, with the typical home value down 3.62%, while the median list price jumped 10.07% to $902,450 as sellers test higher asking prices and the projected median list price for April rises further to $943,725. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up 35.9% from last month and 65.63% year over year to 26.5 days, and buyers are negotiating some discounts, as the average sale-to-list ratio is 0.969 and only about 25% of homes sell above list. With Lakeside labeled a seller’s market but showing signs of shifting dynamics, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a skilled local agent to navigate these conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Learn more about what Lakeside has to offer.
Lakeside offers residents a scenic, family-friendly lifestyle with lakefront parks, easy access to shopping and dining, active community events, and a welcoming, close-knit atmosphere.
Lakeside in Wakefield feels distinct because it pairs true neighborhood scale with immediate access to water, transit, and town amenities that nearby communities often spread far apart. Centered along the eastern side of Lake Quannapowitt, it gives residents everyday access to the popular lakefront trail and Veterans Memorial Common, while still being a short walk or drive to Wakefield Center and the commuter rail.
Life here is anchored by the lake, where you will see year round walkers, runners, and families. Local favorites like Wakefield Boathouse and seasonal events at the Common add a strong sense of shared identity. Nearby Wakefield Memorial High School and the Lucius Beebe Memorial Library serve as additional community hubs. Quick access to neighboring Melrose and Reading expands dining, services, and commuting options without losing Lakeside’s quieter residential feel.
Buyers are drawn to Lakeside for its walkability, water views, and proximity to both Wakefield Center and major routes. Sellers benefit from steady demand, especially for homes near the lake and parks. In a market where listings can move quickly, timing, preparation, and pricing strategy matter. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands Lakeside’s nuances and how to position a move here successfully.

“While I was looking for my condo, I had several criteria in mind: something below market budget, close to the city, with the right number of bedrooms and a good layout. At the time, the market was ridiculous. I felt grateful and reassured to have Eric as my real estate agent because he was very patient, knowledgeable about the process, responsive, and accessible. I never felt pressured by him to purchase something that wasn’t right for me. Overall, I have him to thank for the condo I have today. I truly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him to my friends and family.”
“Craig Celli was terrific from the very start and through to the very end of the transaction. When he came to view the property for the first time, he demonstrated knowledge, experience, and was friendly and communicative. I knew right after our meeting that he was the broker I would choose to market and sell the property. He also was very hands-on in preparing the home for sale - he worked on things himself and he personally knew and introduced me to a number of people who assisted in the work associated with preparing the home for sale (cleaners, electricians, etc.). All of the people he referred worked out perfectly. I was selling this property as a fiduciary so was not located in the area - Craig took on the responsibility of being my "boots on the ground" throughout the marketing and pre-sale. In short, I could not have asked for a better professional to market and sell this property. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.”
“Fue más de lo que esperaba muy amable excelente profesional Y sobretodo muy rápido 10 días Wao todavía No lo creo jajaja muchas gracias Michelle Silverio eres la mejor Dios continué depositando su gracia sobre ti bendiciones y Asia delante porque se que es solo el comienzo de las cosas grandes que vendrán en el nombre de Jesús bendiciones”
“Sarah Rodewald was excellent, especially with being a first time home buyer. She was friendly and responsive when I had questions or concerns. Sarah was a strong advocate for me during negotiations to secure a fair price and credits towards closing. I would highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a dedicated expert agent.”
“Len went above and beyond during the whole process of selling my mother's home. He was kind, considerate, compassionate and extremely helpful, during an especially stressful time. I would definitely recommend him without hesitation.”
“El seńor Juan lopera,excelente agente vendedor respetuoso al entrar a la propiedad igual que su equipo de trabajo ,muy buena comunicación,siempre pendiente durante todo el proceso de venta. Gracias.”
“Eugene Clark was amiable and very patient. he walked me through the process step by step with clarity and good humor. even after the closing he has been available and very helpful”
“Rosa stepped in when we were not getting anywhere in finding a suits property. Within 72 hours Rosa had several viewings booked and we had 2 offers in place. Ultimately she brokered a great deal on the perfect place to purchase. She continued to work with us throughout the process and closing. She even helped communicate with the previous agents when we needed something fixing. She is an excellent agent and great ambassador for Real Satisfied.”
“Thank you and great job!!”
“Shawn and Dee were amazing. They made the process very easy and were always available for questions or guidance.”
“I can't thank John Dean enough for handing the sale of my home. John's knowledge of the industry and the area was exceptional. He kept me informed of all the issues and guided me with decisions that had to be made. He offered to make several trips to the house to meet and coordinate the inspections and other people that assisted me with the move. Not being available to make it to the property for various reasons being the distance and caring for a disabled husband, John saved me from having to be there. John was there to manage everything for me. If you need a professional agent, look no further than John Dean.”
“He was honest enough to direct us away from one of the homes that we looked at because of the horrible basement there. He also showed us at least 5+ homes before we settled on the one we're living in now.”
“Chris Cassidy comes across as a very honest, and approachable person. Chris was involve in selling a 2 family for me , which was caught up in the Columbia Gas crisis which occurred shortly after he listed it. The Columbia gas problem affect homes in a huge area.The property for a few months was essential not able to be sold because of the Columbia Gas issue. During this time Chris did his best to show, and the sell the property. Eventual after Columbia Gas finally fixed all the gas lines that were affected Chris was then able to find the buyer for this property. Took months, but Chris never gave up, or showed any disinterest. I plan to work with him in the near future.”
“I was recommended by a friend to call Kerry Lapiana with Prestige Homes. I am so glad I did. Kerry went up and beyond from the beginning until the end. She was always available with any questions I had and she made the offer process so easy. It didn't end there. She even took time after I closed to ask me how it was going if I needed anything additional. She went up and beyond every step of the way. I would highly recommend Kerry Lapiana and Prestige Homes to friends, family and colleagues.”
“Kyle moore and kim arsenalt saved my llife. I Just had a son. Lost my mom. My paperwork wasnt great. these 2 put things together that i couldnt have emagined.hear i am now in a multi. Tenants ask how i want the rent paid. I look at them like they're crazy for 2 seconds and say "check or M.O.".IF YOU Feel like me. Those are the ones you want on your team. Then grab KATHY as the lawyer. Shes the best too”
“Vicky Kustov was extremely knowledgeable of all the towns/cities we were considering and when we found the perfect house she was there to assist in the entire purchasing process and was even able to negotiate the purchase price down considerably. She was very friendly and a real pleasure to work with. She made buying a house a fun process and helped take the stress out of such an important and often times very stressful time. Overall we were extremely happy with our experience and will definitely be contacting Vicky again when we are ready for our next house!”
