Welcome to OSM! I can't see any lake on the aerial images. Could it be a private swimming pool?

A swimming pool would almost certainly be in the back yard, not in full view of the road and passing pedestrians.
This area is a front yard with more tree cover than others nearby, so it could be a small landscape garden with an artificial lily pond, if it exists, it is difficult to say.
However, without any of the nearby buildings being marked, or any housenumbers, it looks a strange and lonely addition, rather than forming part of an ensemble.
Proof of this would have to be a ground-level photo of the front lawnyard.
.
That said, I see some strange looking turning circles nearby, covering a wide area, that appear to be mapped as traffic signals in error. -

Or...it could be a pond that has been there for a long time that aerial imagery has always had trouble spotting. It is one of many reasons why a person on the ground is going to have better knowledge of any given area than someone just looking at images taken from afar. For example, looking at that imagery you would swear there is a huge chair sitting outside of a store just a ways down the road, but they removed that chair years ago.
