Summer is looking like the new spring home buying and selling season and a local lakefront community is getting a lot of attention.

The Cottages at Troutburg features year-round lakefront living on 126 acres and one mile of Lake Ontario shoreline in Hamlin. 

"It's just beautiful here," said Ellen Brenner. For her, it's a great weekend getaway from Rochester.

"Honestly, we love the fact that we can just come here, unpack our bags, put our chairs out here, look at the lake and go," Brenner said.

"We have five or six waterfront sites still available," said Kathy Kelley of The Cottages at Troutburg.

Kelley helps families choose a site and cottage style. Home prices start at $116,500.

There's a monthly lease for land, ammenities and maintenance. Think resort-style living with a pool, tennis, basketball, private beach, fishing pier, playground, clubhouse, game room and of course the view.

"It is the next exit west of Hamlin Beach State Park off the Lake Ontario State Parkway," said Kelley. "It's the serenity. I just love it. I come from the city and I come out here and it is just like a breath of fresh air."

The Cottages at Troutburg has 26 cottages so far with three under construction. There are still waterfront lots available. Mortgage rates are still hovering at historic lows.

"What's not to love about Troutburg. I'd want to live here year-round too!" Kelley added.
