This group is seeking a lively, close-knit group of neighbors full of potluck invitations and shopping trips. If this is you, it\u2019s worth looking into buying a home on a community or suburban lake. These lakes are typically smaller and more removed from the hype (nothing like <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/missouri\/lake-of-the-ozarks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lake of the Ozarks\u2019<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;infamous&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2005\/07\/22\/travel\/escapes\/party-cove-wild-in-the-ozarks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Party Cove<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">) with plenty of charm.

Since community and suburban lake homes are primarily located away from the waterfront, they cost a fraction of what a lakefront property would. According to&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-much-value-does-a-lakefront-add-to-a-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Homelight.com<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, waterfront homes consistently cost more than those away from the water. In 2017, the difference was $50 more per square foot, which can certainly add up.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Aside from the savings, buyers are attracted to the neighborhood vibes of suburban lakes. Unlike remotely located lakes, the focus is on the community more so than nature (although nature is undoubtedly an added benefit &#8212; for instance,&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/tennessee\/great-falls-lake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Great Falls Lake<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, Tennessee, is known for the amazing waterfalls and white water rapids). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In addition to friendly neighbors who live a 30-second walk away, lake communities often have a unique culture that makes the neighborhood special. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (located on <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/wisconsin\/geneva-lake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Geneva Lake<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">) is renowned as a summer paradise. This lake town is known for shopping, an award-winning magic show, and colorful mansions along its shores.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/north-carolina\/lake-lure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lake Lure<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, North Carolina, has a similar reputation. Close to Greenville and Spartanburg, this community lake offers a vibrant, lively culture and all the perks of lake living. This dynamic feel is emblematic of suburban lakes more broadly.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another benefit is the proximity to amenities such as state parks, shopping centers, and restaurants. These resources and attractions are usually not available in rural lake areas. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Community lakes in the <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/alabama\/liberty-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liberty Park<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> area of Birmingham, Alabama, are close to Vulcan Park, the Summit shopping center, and <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/styleblueprint.com\/birmingham\/everyday\/liberty-park-a-beautiful-master-planned-development-nestled-in-vestavia-hills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">other attractive features.<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Similarly,&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/virginia\/lake-anne-reston\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lake Anne<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;in Virginia is located in Reston\u2019s charming suburban community with an exciting restaurant scene, public parkland, and proximity to Washington D.C. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For those seeking a lakeside retirement community, suburban lakes often come with even more amenities. For instance, residents in communities such as&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/a-spotlight-on-lake-whitney-and-white-bluff-resort\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">White Bluff Resort<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, Texas, and&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/tellico-village-a-retirement-paradise-in-tennessee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tellico Village<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, Tennessee, can join clubs, golfing groups, and countless other organizations. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another feature that is often helpful is for those who want to be near a hospital. For instance, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/tennessee\/lake-tansi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lake Tansi<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;offers proximity to the high-quality University of Tennessee medical center.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-this-list-of-cons\">This List of Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/row-of-neighborhood-houses_t20_0xxAdk.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14820\" style=\"width:573px;height:430px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/row-of-neighborhood-houses_t20_0xxAdk.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/row-of-neighborhood-houses_t20_0xxAdk-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/row-of-neighborhood-houses_t20_0xxAdk-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/row-of-neighborhood-houses_t20_0xxAdk-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Clearly, there are more pros than cons &#8212; what can we say? We love lakes! However, depending on how you envision your lake lifestyle, there are some cons to consider. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although there is a lower cost to living on a community or suburban lake, you are typically sacrificing a&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/top-10-tips-on-waterfront-property-buying\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">waterfront view<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. As such, there\u2019s a good chance you can\u2019t look at the lake from your back porch or hop on the boat at a moment\u2019s notice. You might also lack a boat dock for this reason, although it\u2019s typically possible to find rental spaces at a nearby marina.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Additionally, if you\u2019re seeking a more active environment, these lake areas may not be suitable for you. For instance, if you\u2019re someone who wants to roll out of bed, run to the lake, and hop on a jet ski, a smaller lake may not allow for these water sports or easy access to the lake. Ultimately, if living directly on the lake is more important to you than access to surrounding amenities, a suburban or community lake may not be a great match.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remember &#8212; the search for a lake house is all about figuring out what\u2019s most important to you.
