Lakeshore
Waterfront neighborhood name
The strip of land bordering a lake where water meets solid ground.
Lakeshore describes both the physical terrain and the communities that develop there: lakeshore property, a lakeshore community, walking along the lakeshore.
Often written as two words (lake shore) or hyphenated (lake-shore), though the single word dominates in place names and real estate.
