Lake side living in Colorado is something that many people only dream about however it is more of a reality than you might think. There are many different communities in Colorado that feature small lakes, ponds, streams, and reservoirs. These types of communities are scattered all over the state but there is a decent collection of them in the Boulder/Denver area that not only offer lake side living but mountain views as well. Many of these neighborhoods are located in less dense areas which give them the added benefit of lots of natural surrounding beauty. Some of the various benefits of lake side living in Colorado are discussed below.
First and foremost having water access in a Colorado that is literally in your backyard is rarity for an area where flat farm land, rolling hills, and mountains are more common. If you happen to find a property that is within close proximity to water access you can consider yourself lucky as this will offer many different recreational and lifestyle advantages. With that being said, several neighborhoods in the Boulder/Denver area have been specially designed to provide their residents with a water front lifestyle that is not necessarily readily available. Some of these communities include neighborhoods like Goose Haven in Lafayette, Sloan's Lake and Berkeley in Lakewood, and the Valhalla neighborhood in Boulder.
Besides the gorgeous views there are many other benefits to living lake side. Recreational use is probably the most beneficial aspect of this style of living as the amount of activities one can participate in is only limited by the community rules and regulations. Most communities that feature a lake will allow things like fishing, boating, and water sports even if wading and swimming is not allowed. Enjoying the great outdoors not only has a positive physical benefit on its residents but it also has emotional benefits that can be felt as well. The sense that one has of serenity and calm is hard to match in densely packed cities or even in the suburbs. Additionally lake side or front properties offer a great opportunity to entertain and as well as to relax. If this kind of living sounds good to you, check out our featured listing below!
