Method cannot be translated into a store expression

I saw this code work with LINQ to SQL but when I use Entity Framework, it throws this error:

LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'System.Linq.IQueryable'1[MyProject.Models.CommunityFeatures] GetCommunityFeatures()' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression.`

The repository code is this:

public IQueryable<Models.Estate> GetEstates()
{
    return from e in entity.Estates
           let AllCommFeat = GetCommunityFeatures()
           let AllHomeFeat = GetHomeFeatures()
           select new Models.Estate
                      {
                                EstateId = e.EstateId,
                                AllHomeFeatures = new LazyList<HomeFeatures>(AllHomeFeat),
                                AllCommunityFeatures = new LazyList<CommunityFeatures>(AllCommFeat)
                      };
}

public IQueryable<Models.CommunityFeatures> GetCommunityFeatures()
{
    return from f in entity.CommunityFeatures
           select new CommunityFeatures
                      {
                          Name = f.CommunityFeature1,
                          CommunityFeatureId = f.CommunityFeatureId
                      };
}

public IQueryable<Models.HomeFeatures> GetHomeFeatures()
{
    return from f in entity.HomeFeatures
           select new HomeFeatures()
           {
               Name = f.HomeFeature1,
               HomeFeatureId = f.HomeFeatureId
           };
}

LazyList is a List that extends the power of IQueryable.

Could someone explain why this error occurs?
