lakeside town
Shore-hugging settlement
A lakeside town is a town situated on the shore of a lake.
The phrase emphasizes the town's relationship to the water—its economy, recreation, or character shaped by proximity to the lake: We spent summers in a quiet lakeside town in Minnesota.
Such towns often attract tourists and retirees seeking waterfront living.
