The Location
Being situated near Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse, the Finger Lakes offers water activities, gorgeous views of surrounding hills, wineries, tennis courts, golf courses, fine-dining restaurants, shopping centers, and more.
The region provides convenient access to recreation and amenities without requiring families to travel far from their homes and workplaces. Lakefront properties represent strong retirement investment opportunities.
Investing in the Finger Lakes
Lake properties serve as long-term investments that appreciate over time. Current owners are realizing substantial gains when selling. Additionally, these properties offer tax advantages through deductible mortgage interest and real estate taxes for many owners, providing benefits beyond typical residential real estate.
The Advantages of a Lakeside Property
Lake properties attract families seeking a resort-like atmosphere for multi-generational gatherings. This lifestyle offers stress reduction and quality-of-life improvements compared to urban living. Rising demand reflects the Baby Boom generation's retirement planning preferences.
Seneca Lake
This 38-mile-long lake offers affordable options as you move toward rural areas. A house recently closed at $535,000 in Seneca Lake—it comes with three bedrooms, along with a dock and lake frontage. The area features wineries and proximity to Watkins Glen International.
Skaneateles Lake
This location showcases the region's most luxurious properties. These houses will have an average listing price of $1,100,000, so this is something for investors to consider.
Canandaigua Lake
Properties here rival Skaneateles for beauty, with many lakefront homes exceeding $1 million in listing price.

The scarcity of waterfront properties continues increasing due to population growth and Baby Boomer retirement demand. The Finger Lakes region cannot expand through canal development like other areas.
