While I have always been more partial to salt or brackish water (larger bodies of water and better fishing), I can enjoy fishing for bass or bream off of any of the beautifully maintained lakes in South Mississippi.

Lakefront living is a great way to enjoy the water without as much threat from flooding of hurricanes, etc. Living on any of the south Mississippi lakes is just as serene as living on an open bayou, typically with less gnats. There are many great lakes to choose from including Adam’s Lake (Windance, Lake Village Estates), Swan Lake Estates, Robinwood, McGill Lake, Rogers Lake/Silver Run, Landon Lake, and many more.

A home on the lake is offers many of the same enjoyments as other waterfront properties, but you do have to be careful that your needs are met. For instance, some lakes do not allow gas-powered boats so if you wanted to utilize your lakefront home for skiing or getting across the lake fast, you may want to make sure.

I don’t pretend to have all the answers but I do a lot of research and know the questions to ask because I love waterfront properties just as much, if not more than you do. Contact me if you are considering buying or selling a property on the MS Coast.

The Overlook at Swan Lake Estates got its name because it “overlooks” Swan Lake. Many very nice homes surround the back side of the lake and amenities include clubhouse, dock/pier, and playground for the kids so residents do not have to live on the lake to enjoy it.

3 and 4 bedroom homes start in the low $200k range and lakefront homes start in the $200k range although deals can be found occasionally.

The Overlook at Swan Lake is close to shopping at Crossroads shopping center in Gulfport and offers an expansive selection of shopping and dining as well as a large movie theater. Factory Outlets Mall, Walmart and other stores are nearby as well.

Swan Lake Estates is located in Gulfport, MS a few miles north of I-10 off Hwy 49.  Swan Lake Estates is nestled just outside of the city limits saving owners money on property taxes, yet still close enough to have all the amenities of city living with public water and sewage, cable television and broadband Internet.

Overlooking a gorgeous lake with benches throughout the clubhouse area, this community has a great, tranquil feel to it and the prices of the homes are very reasonable for what you get.

Swan Lake Estates is one of Gulfport, Mississippi’s finer subdivisions and offers many of the amenities you would find in a high end development for a fraction of the price.
