Why you should consider retiring in a lakefront community

Retirement isn’t the end of one’s productive years. In fact, it’s the beginning of a new chapter in a person’s life. And what better way to spend it than with fellow retirees in a community by a lake?

Living the best years of your life on the lakefront is probably one of the most ideal scenarios you can imagine for yourself. After all, there is much to be said about residing near a body of water. Here’s a peek of what you can expect from living in a retirement community in this lovely location:

Live next door to nature

Living in a lakefront retirement community gives you a front-row seat to Mother Nature and all that she has to offer. That’s because many communities of this nature are found near national parks or protected land. You can wake up every day to the peaceful sound of lapping waves, go for a boat ride on the lake and fish, or simply enjoy the day on your patio reading a good book and savoring the cool lake breeze.

The North Cascades National Park, for example, is easily accessible from Leavenworth either via private or public transport. You can hike your way through several trails found in the park and take in the crisp mountain air. Lake Chelan itself doesn’t disappoint as its waters teem with cutthroat, kokanee, rainbow trout, and crappies. You can even imagine yourself on a quest to find the legendary dragon of Lake Chelan!

Enjoy modern amenities

Living by the lake isn’t simply about roughing it up, especially when you take residence in any of Chelan County’s remarkable retirement communities. You can choose to live in a retirement facility or housing development here and have convenient access to a good number of modern conveniences from groceries and food spots to venues for recreation. You’ll also find excellent hospitals in and around these facilities that provide expert health care. The homes themselves are complete with amenities from cable and phone services to HVACs to ensure comfortable living spaces.

Be part of a community with like-minded people

Most people who decide to live in retirement communities near the lake consist of those who enjoy being surrounded by the majesty and tranquility of nature, those who continue to advocate an active lifestyle, and those who appreciate how their surroundings allow them to bask in quiet contemplation and like the company of a few. Rest assured that you’ll find your place among these members of your community, no matter what your lifestyle, interests, and personal choices are.

What’s more? You get to participate in community events and activities that highlight your kind of lifestyle preference with like-minded people.

Live the dream

Retiring in a lakefront community, you’ll find that the quality of life here is unparalleled but still well within your financial capacity. Remember that lake organizations and local government agencies often give financial incentives to homeowners who participate in shoreline restoration efforts.

Your grandchildren, friends, and other relatives will love spending the weekend with you at the lake. Should you wish it, you’ll be able to play host to a steady stream of guests.
