Within waterfront homes for sale in Horizon West we include every type of water including ponds etcetera. Lakefront homes we do our best to separate for several reasons. However, some ponds you will see in Horizon West are rather large and often the sellers will mark homes inappropriately. We have seen some very nice waterfront homes which were not actually on a lake.
What you will want to or prefer to see is the flood zone referred to as Flood Zone-X. That is the zone you will not be required to purchase flood insurance for. It is still a good idea to have flood insurance and it is not very expensive. You will find that many lakefront homes are built well above the actual flood zone. You will also see homes which have different flood zones for different parts of their surveyed property. This is often the case with a yard that slopes down to the lake but the home itself is much higher. The flood zone you are concerned with is level with the floor of the house not the edge of the lake or pond.
I live in a magnificent lakefront home. To wake up and enjoy that view is priceless to me as I grow a little older. You will love the wildlife and serenity that comes with it. I love the fall when the ducks, pelicans and migratory birds come through. Best of all, when you look out your window toward the water you are not boxed in by another home.
