Why people move here

Every home gets the lake, through the community ramp.

Bay Vista Estates is about 230 homes on the east shore of Big Sand Lake, built mostly from 1984 to 1996. Some homes sit on the lake or on canals with their own docks, and every resident can launch from the community boat ramp and beach.
Two lighted tennis courts, a basketball court and a park round it out. Bay Meadows Elementary borders the neighborhood to the north, and Restaurant Row is about a mile and a half away.
Buyers who want a ski lake in the weekend plan without a lakefront price.
