3 Surprising Benefits of Waterfront Living
Waterfront properties are synonymous with luxury. Limited availability and high demand contribute to the exclusivity of living on the water’s edge, and make waterfront properties a solid long-term investment.
But choosing to build a custom home overlooking a lake or river is about more than just building a house whose value will appreciate over time. It’s about waking up to sunrises over the water and taking in the splendor of the changing seasons – right from your own backyard.
Here are three more surprising benefits of waterfront living:
- The Blue Mind Effect
A study by Michigan State University found that having a water view is associated with lower levels of psychological distress. Just being near water can reduce stress and promote a feeling of well-being. The soothing sound of the water, the gentle breeze, and the proximity to nature all contribute to a sense of serenity that’s difficult to find in an urban environment. - Better Work-Life Balance
Waterfront homes offer stunning views that provide a welcome escape from our busy lives. Floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious decks and private backyards make it easy to appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature. With the great outdoors just outside your patio door, you’ll spend more time outside, socializing with family and friends, or simply enjoying another breathtaking sunset. - Recreational Opportunities
Waterfront communities typically offer easy access to recreational activities such as walking trails, bike paths, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Being surrounded by nature in your own neighbourhood encourages physical activity, which can contribute to better physical and mental health.
