What is Lake View? What is its Advantage Over Lake Front?

A true lake view property has a significant view of a lake from the main living areas during every season of the year.  A breath-taking lake view could easily add additional resale value depending upon the location and particular aspects of the view.  In this market some are considering lake view more desirable than lake front due to higher availability than lake front, and attractive pricing.  Not all lake front properties have a view depending on their distance from corps line, and the terrain the home is situated on.  As public ramps and boat slips have become more available the advantages have begun to outweigh the costs.When comparing lake view to lake front, it is important for resale purposes to know that waterfront properties are the most sought after real estate.  It is typically where buyers begin in their real estate search.  Demand far outstrips supply, which holds the value in the most unique and desirable properties.  There is no arguing the conveniences of having a boat dock right behind the home, and walking down to the lake.  However you can enjoy a great lake view at all seasons and within reasonable distance have access to lake and boat dock.

"lake view" = view of the lake
"lake front" = on the lake.

Very confusing, thanks for straightening this out!
