\u00a0Can you put a volleyball net in the water? \u00a0You should check these rules BEFORE purchasing the property.<\/p>\n<p>There may be government and deed restrictions on the property as well. \u00a0Since the lake is an ecosystem all its own, the Department of Environmental Quality often has its own rules\u00a0for waterfront houses. \u00a0You may face deed restrictions, conservation easements, and extra inspections.<\/p>\n<p>None of these things need to prevent you from buying the home. \u00a0However, it is important to go in understanding the whole picture!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. \u00a0Homeowner Associations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many lake houses around Grand Rapids are part of an association. \u00a0The formality of these groups varies widely. \u00a0Some meet casually a couple of times a year\u00a0to talk about major issues, and others have full boards of directors and monthly meetings.<\/p>\n<p>These groups serve an important function, and help maintain a good standard of living around the lake. \u00a0However, there are also rules, regulations, and fees that come with homeowner associations. \u00a0Get a copy of the HOA information in advance, and make sure you&#8217;re willing to abide by those rules.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sun.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1696\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1696\" src=\"http:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sun-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"Sun\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sun-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sun-768x500.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sun.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>4. \u00a0Lake Specifics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lakes\u00a0around\u00a0Grand Rapids come in all shapes and sizes. \u00a0From 35-acre fishing spots\u00a0to 2,600+ acre all-sports behemoths, there are a lot of choices available.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you choose the right lake for you. \u00a0If you prefer quiet sunsets and peaceful views at noon, don&#8217;t buy on a popular water skiing lake. \u00a0If you want to zip around on a Jet Ski, don&#8217;t choose a spot where you can only make one small circle over and over. \u00a0And if you want to fish, make sure the trout\u00a0are biting!<\/p>\n<p>If possible, visit the lake at a couple of different times of year, and make sure you like the vibe. \u00a0Living on the water feels very different in January and August, and you&#8217;ll want to know that it&#8217;s the right house for you.<\/p>\n<p>So jump in, and don&#8217;t be afraid to get your feet wet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan is a beautiful place, and we are blessed with abundant lakes. \u00a0While many of these are protected resources, we are fortunate to have many waterfront properties for sale. \u00a0Whether you love paddleboating in the spring, wakeboarding in the summer, or ice fishing in winter, lakefront living is great.
