2 public beaches? Never heard that....
There are plenty of kids on the islands, as far as average age I don't think that can be answered. It all depends on where you buy. Some islands are more kid-friendly than others. I would not suggest the broads side of Rattlesnake for small kids for instance.
Building codes are the same as on the mainland. I think on the islands you can get away with doing a bit more work without it going noticed.
Most islanders lock up and shut down. A few hearty souls do get year round use. Travel over the lake in the winter can be dangerous if you do not know where to go, what to look for, etc. Some winters you can put a truck on the ice, other years you cant even walk it- again, depending on where you are headed.
