The Blakeslee has been considered one of the premier neighborhoods at Deep Creek Lake for a long time now. Orginally developed in the late 80’s and early 90’s this neighborhood consists of 38 lakefront homes and 61 lake access homes/building lots. Of the 99 lots that were originally sold, all but 10 have houses on them now. The Blakeslee was named after the family who originally owned the large tract of land that now makes up the neighborhood.

Consisting of many high-end homes on wooded lots, this community is one of the few around Deep Creek Lake that has an indoor pool and community center. Other amenities include two tennis courts, a full size basketball court, kid’s playground, soccer field, and numerous trails which can be used for hiking, mountain biking, ATV’s, or snowmobiles. All the roads in the Blakeslee are private roads (Middleton Road, Thornberry Road, Sorbus Lane, North Blakeslee Road, and South Blakeslee Road) making it very nice to take a walk or ride a bike around the neighborhood.

The mix in the neighborhood consists of many vacation and second homeowners who only use their house on the weekends and during the summer - but their is a large percentage of owners who are full time residents of Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County as well.
