Why Live in Lakeport
A home in Lakeport guarantees a spot no more than about 10 miles from the gleaming waters of Clear Lake. This community of about 5,000 borders the largest natural freshwater lake in the entire state of California. Clear Lake is a natural anchor for Lakeport, an area that attracts buyers eyeing vacation homes and retirees. Yet housing prices here aren’t exorbitant relative to the region. “The biggest draw would be affordability,” says Tiffany Peng, a local Realtor with RE/MAX Gold who has over 20 years of experience. “Also, access to the Bay Area, the lake, the growth of the area, and a small-town feel within California.” Tens of thousands of people dip their toes into outdoor activities in and around Clear Lake every year. People go boating and jet skiing in the water, and Peng says a lot of locals fish the lake — it’s a hot spot for bass. Multiple parks line the shoreline of the almost 43,800-acre lake, including Lakeport's Library Park. Library Park has docks for fishing, a boat launch and a playground. The 590-acre Clear Lake State Park, 8 miles away in Kelseyville, features four campgrounds, a beach open to swimming and hiking trails.
