Lake Braddock Association is a community of 1,298 units, a mix of single family and townhouses, one of the very first master planned unit developments in the country, incorporated in May, 1969. The community was recently recognized by the Washington Post for its unique style of contemporary homes in its Raintree Section, and also for its extensive and varied Christmas decorations by individual homeowners. This community prides itself with its 27 acre lake and a small farmer’s pond. The lake and pond add scenic and recreational value to the community. There are walking and jogging paths around the lake and pond as well as through the extensive wooded areas that surround the community. The community is very family oriented and has installed and maintain several tot lots. There are two swimming pools, four tennis courts, a boat ramp, a dock and a community center.

Lake Braddock residents are very active in their community supporting the Boy Scouts, Salvation Army, Goodwill, Ecco, local Churches, Rescue Workers America and the Burke Volunteer Fire Department, and their own Lake Braddock Swim Team.

The volunteer spirit is very evident by the participation of its members in its varied committees. These active volunteers support the following committees; Covenants, Landscape and Grounds, Architectural, Lake and Pond, Communications (Newsletter and website) Neighborhood Watch, Social (providing holiday activities for the children) and Budget.
