The Indiana Boat Sport & Travel Show is in Indianapolis this week. It is a great event to visit as we gear up for Spring in Indiana! Heritage Lake is the featured lake in the the premiere issue of Lake Living Indiana, a comprehensive guide to Indiana lakes and all things related to waterfront living and recreation on the water in our state.  Heritage Lake was chosen as the featured lake for several reasons including our great location near Indianapolis convenient to other locations including Carmel, Lafayette and even outside of the state like Chicago and Cincinnati. Also, Heritage Lake is totally private for property owners and their guests only. With 320 acres of water, 100 acres of parks and nature preserves (including lakefront property) and some of the best fishing around Indiana, Heritage Lake is certainly worth a visit! A new water complex/pool area is being installed for 2011 which will offer great fun for all ages! The price range of lakefront homes start at $174,900 up to $799,000 and offwater properties are in all price ranges. Even offwater homes and lots enjoy full use of the lake with boat slips and tie ups available on common areas for a yearly fee. Lakefront lots currently run $61,000 to $139,900 and off water are lots are very affordable, even for those interested in just using the lake for fishing and fun. There is a Heritage Lake full service campground for property owners only and that is a great option for offshore lot owners. Brouhard Realtors have sold Heritage Lake properties since 1987. We would love to show you around our lovely lake…soon the boat will be in and ready to go!
