Beautiful views from The Sanctuary at Lake Ridge
Dreaming about living near the water? Who isn’t, really.
But if you are actually looking to make that dream a reality and are in the market for the perfect water-close home or homesite, there are a few things you should know.
Beyond the wonderful, relaxing lifestyle, the great amenities, and the stunning views you can find in a water-close community, there are these 5 Great Advantages to Living Near Water.
1. Fun and Relaxing Activities
Living near the water means being able to get out and play whenever the mood strikes. Other families may need to pile in the car and spend hours on the road on a busy weekend. Living at a community like The Sanctuary at Lake Ridge, the newest neighborhood in the Lake Ridge development on the shores of Joe Pool Lake, can mean just stepping outside your door or taking a scenic drive down the rolling hills that are unique to this area of Texas.
The 7,500-acre freshwater playground of Joe Pool Lake offers fishing, boating, boat rentals, wakeboarding, its own marina, and a restaurant and bar. Plus, nearby there are 15 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails and six city parks, one of which includes a 3,000-square-foot amphitheater that hosts concerts and events year round. Here you can sail, swim, waterski, hike, take in a show, and catch a bite (on the water or in the restaurant!). And you’ll never have to fight weekender traffic to do it.
2. Breathtaking Views
The ability to wake up to gorgeous coastal scenery every day is a driving force behind many an individual’s move to a water-close environment. And some communities, like The Sanctuary at Lake Ridge, offer views of rolling hills and towering trees as well.
The final neighborhood development in Lake Ridge, on the shores of Joe Pool Lake, The Sanctuary offers properties ranging from one-half to 1 acre, comprising some of the most desirable lake real estate in North Texas. This gated environment with panoramic lake and skyline vistas, private pond-front sites and coveted shoreline-close properties also features the acclaimed, 18-hole Tangle Ridge Golf Club.
3. Resale Value
Homes near the water, especially those that feature water views, have historically held their value and increased in value more quickly than homes around them because they are a limited commodity. Even homes that offer a location that is “relatively” close to water, offering quick and easy access to recreational amenities, tend to be worth more than homes that are landlocked.
When it comes to protecting your investment, or providing a great opportunity to grow your equity, homes near the water are the clear winners.
4. Health
Living near the water promotes a healthy lifestyle because of the array of activities and watersports available. At The Sanctuary, property owners and homeowners enjoy boating, swimming, and wakeboarding, among many other outdoor activities, on Joe Pool Lake. An additional health benefit to living near water is the effect it can have on your health and mental state. Being near water has been proven to lower both anxiety and blood pressure.
5. Location
Living near water can often mean a remote location far from culture, entertainment, and work centers. People are often forced to make a choice of water or convenience. At The Sanctuary, they can have both.
With a location that is just 20 miles south of Downtown Dallas and 28 miles from Downtown Ft. Worth, Lake Ridge is right in the center of these two thriving areas. The community presents a relaxed country atmosphere that feels like a world away yet is still close enough for work and play.
