Hi, We currently own a home in an association on the lake but are considering moving to waterfront. Our kids are 13 and 11 so we think it would be a better fit for our family as far as activities such as boating, kayaking, etc. Our community gives us access to these activities but the "process" of getting to the water in order to do them keeps the kids from doing them more often. Plus they are unable to do a lot of activities on their own due to association rules.

My question for waterfront home owners out there is what are the downsides to owning waterfront property. Obviously to be able to own on the waterfront is a dream come true for most but there are probably hassles, issues, etc. that come along with it that I may not be aware of. The positives seem pretty obvious so I am really just trying to figure out what I don’t know that could turn a dream come true into a nightmare or at least not as much fun as we think. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
