The advantages of living in a waterfront home

The main advantage of living in a waterfront home is the lifestyle. With direct access to the water, you can go boating, water-skiing, swimming, and fishing in your own time.

Living right on the water also brings you the kind of peace and seclusion that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. A waterfront home commands spectacular views of the water – not your neighbor’s front lawn.

Then there’s the fact that waterfront homes are in limited supply, and are therefore almost always both in high demand and highly valued. This is particularly true in the Lake Norman area. Lakefront homes here continue to increase in value and are always sought after.

With proper maintenance and care, your waterfront home will have tremendous resale value. You can also rent it out if you don’t intend to use it as a primary residence.
