We've owned a house on the southeast side of the lake for 9 years. Water levels have been great the last 3 years ... the BRA finally figured it out.
Quiet, safe for water sports on holiday weekends, great fishing, no condos - good, no lake side restaurants - good, no huge developments - great!
We live in Bryan, so 50-60 minutes door to door.
Buy something while u can. When we bought, 350 listings, last I checked on lakehouse.com - ~ 65.
Glad to answer any questions.
