Chemung Lakefront homes listings. Lake Chemung is what we would call a sleeper lake. The majority of the older lake homes have not been torn down to make way for the newer, more modern homes. The majority of the lakefront homes are the older 1000 square foot "cottage homes". Mainy of them are year round homes now. Many of the homes have been updated with new bathrooms, windows, new vinyl. But some have not.
If you are a person that wants to be surrounded by big beautiful waterfront properties, then Lake Chemung may not be the lake for you. It may have a run down old cottage on the same road you are on.
Most of the homes are small and some of the surrounding roads are dirt. Chemung Lake home styles are manily ranches and bungalows but there are cape cods, colonial style homes, split levels.
Lake Chemung lots are fairly close together and some of the lakes lots are smaller. But there are always homes with double lots, and lots that have good wide frontage on the lake.
The two keys to getting your lakefront home sold is to price it right, and a good marketing plan. A good marketing plan will get your lakefront home on websites that get seen. This website gets thousands of visitors a month and is Metro Detroit's #1 lake website. Give us a call to get your lake home marketed right and SOLD!
Chemung Lake does have some lake access homes.

Like everywhere you will have good and bad neighbors. Most lake home owners get along so well. Where the problem usually arises is about lot lines. So one of the biggest recommendations is to get a staked survey of your property. It is worthwhile and will help keep property line disputes down. We have heard too many stories of home owners using and thinking they owned to a certain point of land when they never actually owned it.
Lake courtesy is simple things like not blocking your neighbors view. You do not want to put trees or shrubs in to block your neighbors view. It is the same thing with a privacy fence to the lake. You are going to start a war and alienate your neighbor.
When you have a party alert your neighbor, you may want to even invite them. Remember parking is usually at a premium on the lake. So be courteous and do not let your guest block one of your neighbors. As we always say be nice. Try to do a little for them. Most lake homes are close. Closer than homes in many communities so stereos and noise can be a nuisance. Be aware of that when you are listening to your favorite tunes.
Being a good neighbor on the lake will make lake living so much better.
