On the water, and off it

Not every home on the Bend has its own shoreline. Both kinds of home are part of the same community, close to the same water.

Waterfront

Your own shoreline

The lake is at the end of the lawn, and often a dock with it. A waterfront home comes with the care that goes with one: the dock, the seawall or riprap, and the shoreline itself.

Off the water

The wooded roads behind

Off-water homes sit along the roads behind the coves, some with views through the trees and some with lake access of their own. Check what a home's access actually includes: it varies home by home.

These describe two different groups of homes, which also differ in size, age and setting. The gap between them is not the value of being on the water. The full market report
