We all know Pennsylvania is a beautiful place to live with its state parks, fall foliage, and lovely natural landscapes to enjoy, including lake living. If you’re looking for the perfect lake to live on in Chester County, you’re in luck, writes Alison Bentley for Redfin.
With lush woods and 535 acres of lake water, Marsh Creek State Park in Downingtown is among the top 10 best lakes to live in the state.
Ranked at No. 8 on the list, Marsh Creek has plenty of things to do all year round. Locals and visitors enjoy kayaking and paddle-boarding in the summer, fishing, sailing, hiking, bird watching, and more. When you live on the lake, you can do this every day.
At 1,727 acres throughout the whole state park, it’s a great way to immerse yourself in nature. Plus, nearby Downingtown is a hub for all things restaurants and small businesses to check out.
Currently, the median home sale price is $441,000 and the average 1-bedroom rent is $1,597. Marsh Creek has a population of around 8,000 people.
