My family looked at these condos on Saturday the 3rd on a whim. They are well beyond our price range but I didn't think the price was too out of line for what you get. The condo fee and steep Laconia taxes, however, push the expense even further.
There really isn't anything comparable on the market right now. Units at South Down are older and further from the water, same for Grouse Point, and there is nothing currently for sale there anyways.
Yes, you can purchase a conventional single family home in a shared water access community for that price and there are a few waterfront homes in the sub-$600K range available around the lake, but they are all older, smaller and need updating.
These units are selling pretty well, so the developers must be on to something!
