What you want you cannot afford
Lake homes are more expensive than a home off the lake. It is just that simple. Sometimes they are a $100,000 more. Sometimes what you really want in a lake home is something you cannot financially afford. Or you may not be able to afford the lake you want. So what are your alternatives? One of the best alternatives to living on the lake is a canal front home.
You can usually get a canal front home for anywhere from $50,000 to a $100,000 less than you could buy a lakefront home. I have seen beautiful canal front homes that were so much cheaper than a full lakefront home. This gives you the ability to be on the lake, be able to have a boat on the lake but at a cheaper price.
That is one of the biggest issues is that some lake home buyer expectations are much higher than the price they have in mind. Lake homes cost so much more than a regular home in a subdivision. Some large all sports lakes have homes on them that command a $200,000 to $400,000 premium. Many of the lake home in the $500,000 + range are custom built. Some of these home sellers have torn down an old home and rebuilt from the ground up.
Sometimes home buyers have to give up the dream of that perfect home to get a home on a lake. You may not have that luxurious home that you always wanted, but you may have a great lake home. It is sometimes the choices you have to make. Many times there is a limited amount of lake homes and choices. So it is about being realistic. So if you want to wake up to a view of the lake you may have to lower your expectations went buying a lake home.

School Lake General info
School Lake is just a round lake and doesn't have much boat traffic on it. Of course on the weekends it is a little busier. Most of the shoreline is homes though there are a few spots that are natural with cattails and water lilies. School Lake is connected to Hope Lake which lies on the other side of Old 23. The lake levels are balanced by both spring fed lake levels.
There are two different subdivision associations on the lake.

Here is what previous clients said about us! We have used Joe Bertera and his office since 2009. We have always had a great experience with him and his associates. Not only is Joe our agent , but we now also consider him a friend. He has always provided us with very professional and friendly services. He always goes above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Joe! Janel has helped me find a great lake house. My family loves living on the lake and I can’t thank Janel enough. We already have made some great memories here! My husband and I chose Russ to be our real estate agent after a friend highly recommended him. We were moving here from Canada and only had a few days to look at homes. When we came in to town, Russ went far above the call of duty. He had thoroughly planned our 2 days and had numerous homes lined up for us to view. After talking to us briefly and asking us a few questions before our arrival, he new exactly what types of homes would be ideal for us. After searching for a short time he found the perfect home for us. |
