So what are the pluses and minuses of lake living?  The cons of lake living is that most likely you are going to have less house for the money than you would if you bought in a community subdivision atmosphere.  The cons of lake living is that lake homes are closer together unless you pay bigger bucks for a large lake lot.  Most Southeastern Michigan lakes homes are closer together.  More like old Detroit homes.  But you have the choice whether you want to mix with your neighbors or not.

The pluses of lake living is the lake life style.  I call it living the dream.  I feel that living on a lake makes you feel more relaxed.  There is something about the water.  If you are one of those people that love the water then you will love lake living.  If you are one of those people that every vacation is to a warm spot on the water then you will love lake living.

It's all about family, and friend enjoying the lake.  So much fun and memories are in store for you when you buy a lake home.  If you like or love the water you will never regret buying a la lake home.
