Every 4th of July-or the Saturday before-I can remember since I’ve lived at Heritage Lake (21 years) we have enjoyed the awesome professional fireworks display over the water.  I don’t know what’s the best part.  There are the twinkling red and green lights on all the boats lined up on the waterfront which is a show in itself!  There are the cheers from the boats and decks on completion of the display in contrast to the quiet awe during the display.  There’s my Dad play his according in the background with patriotic songs on the deck.  The kids sit down by the fire pit barely waiting to set off their own fireworks over the lakefront.  And there is the duality of the display, I don’t know which is better, the sparkles in the air or the reflection on the still water of the lake.  All I know is there is no where I’d rather be.  The show goes on all over the lake afterwards as residents and guests set off their own displays. No heavy traffic to get home, just a little boat traffic to maneuver.  This is only one of the spectacular times we enjoy all year long at Heritage Lake.  The Summer is  wonderful, swimming, boating, fishing etc.  The fall gives us an amazing free show of spectacular colors reflecting on the lake.  There is nothing like a frozen lake with fresh fallen snow everywhere you look and in the Spring there is the excitement of watching things turn green and the red buds blooming which creates an anticipation of the summer months that lie ahead.  Heritage Lake is only 30 miles west of Indianapolis at I-465 & US 36.  Easy commute, close enough to use your vacation home every weekend and still be able to get home easily for the work week.  Brouhard Realtors have been your Heritage Lake Experts for years, we’d be glad to show you the lake by boat and show you homes that you find of interest.  You can have your summer home out here for the next 4th of July Fireworks Display and the activities at the clubhouse including a band, activities and food available throughout the day.  Come visit Heritage Lake today!

2009-A new beginning in many ways, historically with a new American President and perhaps for you as well as with the purchase of a vacation home at Heritage Lake.  According to an article at RIS Media in a Commentary by Curtis Seltzer on January 19, 2009 ”Vacation-home prices have also held up better than metropolitan housing, which dropped 20% in the 20 largest metropolitan areas tracked by the S&P/Case-Shiller composite house price index in the 18 months following a mid-2006 high.”  Another interesting statement regarding second homes was offered in the same article which states: “The best buys will be in nice places that have yet to be turned into trendy destinations. Look for small towns that are still about one-third pickup trucks and have no yak-butter crepe place.”  Now that description sounds uncannily like Heritage Lake Indiana!  Our private lakefront paradise is rural and out of the way, yet you can get to downtown Indy in and hour and Greencastle, the home of Depauw University, in 20 minutes.  The location to a major growing metropolitan area is a very important factor in the future of Heritage Lake.  The current prices are variable on waterfront homes from $189,900 to $529,900 which means they are still much more affordable than many Indiana lakes.  There are some lovely lakefront lots available as well.  The lake has maintained a quaint lakeside atmosphere but has every modern convenience including a marina with gas at the water’s edge, boat launch, 3 sandy beaches and and 2 clubhouses with tennis and a sports complex.  You’ll enjoy the lakeside evening concerts in the summer and the professional fireworks over the water for the 4th of July.  Heritage Lake can be your summer home destination and you can be ready for spring if you start looking now!  Also, the lake is private for property owners and their guests so everyone has great pride in maintaining our lakefront paradise!
