Before you buy

  • Lakefront, view or access. Ask where the lot line is and who owns the first foot of water. A lakefront listing answers both in one sentence.
  • Drawdown. Irrigation reservoirs draw down every August. Ask for photos from September, not June.
  • Flood map and insurance. Lots below a dam or along an outlet creek sit in FEMA zones. Pull the map and price the policy in the inspection period.
  • Geese, algae, mosquitoes. Every shallow lake has all three from June to September. Visit at 7 p.m. in July.

The Colorado
Lakefront Checklist

Lakefront, lake view or lake access: how to tell, and what each is worth

The simple answer

Almost no Front Range lakefront is private. True lakefront with a dock exists in a few communities in Windsor, Timnath, Loveland, Arvada and Westminster. Everything else is lake view or lake access, and the price gap between the three is the whole conversation.

Sample from page 3: Lakefront, lake view or lake access

  • Lakefront: the lot line touches the water and the HOA or the deed says you can put a dock in.
  • Lake view: you see it from the house. Worth a premium when the view is protected by park or open space.
  • Lake access: a path or a community beach. Adds little; buyers pay for water they can touch.
  • The test: ask where the lot line is and who owns the first foot of water.
