LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in
Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots–the Ozarks’ Branson, Missouri, or Arizona’s Lake Havasu–it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You’ll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country’s top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash’s prison blues.
