Have you ever dreamed of living on one of Lake Erie's Islands? Have you wondered about prices, transportation, winterizing, being a permanent resident? There are many options available.
You need to decide which island meets your needs. You'll also need to decide if you are interested in a house or a condo, to rent or to purchase, and whether or not you will be living throughout the year or only in the warmer months.

There are hundreds of residents that call the islands their home all year. They generally enjoy the peace winter brings from the often chaotic tourist season. Populations surge over the winter months, and residents enjoy the break from the summer crowds. For many people that call the islands home the summer is when they make their living, often working multiple jobs and many, many hours.

Seasonal residents or home owners that enjoy the weekends are the majority of the property owners. They come to enjoy the warmer months, often spending winters in sunnier locations. There are many, many options to include condo living, seasonal summer cottages, and rental opportunities. Many of these residents also work during the summer to help cover expenses or just to enjoy being part of the hustle and bustle going on around them.
