lakeside communities
Shore-dwelling residential areas
Lakeside communities are residential areas built along the shores of lakes, typically featuring homes with water access, docks, and shared amenities.
The term evokes a particular lifestyle—boating, fishing, swimming—and often carries connotations of recreation or retirement: They moved to a lakeside community after the kids left home.
Such developments range from modest cottage clusters to upscale gated neighborhoods.
