1501 W Water St

A low-rise, gated lakeside condominium community developed in 1986 and set across roughly 40–86 acres near New Buffalo’s Lake Michigan shoreline. The development is composed primarily of two- and three-bedroom townhome-style and stacked units arranged around woodland and waterfront corridors; some larger end units reach four bedrooms and include multiple levels with walkout lower levels. Exterior character mixes private decks, balconies, and garden/patio areas with shared lawns, walking paths and a small playground. Interiors commonly feature vaulted ceilings, stone or wood fireplaces, eat-in kitchens with islands or peninsulas, pantry space, jetted tubs in master baths, central vacuum and window treatments; many units include three-season porches and generous storage. Common facilities are concentrated on the lake side and include a private beach access and boardwalk, an association swimming pool with sunset deck, tennis/pickleball courts, spa/hot tub areas, and community gathering spaces. Parking is a mix of detached single-car garages and surface guest parking; many units offer private entrances. The community operates with condominium association governance, gated entry, and on-site maintenance; pet policies vary by unit and association rules. Located minutes from downtown New Buffalo’s restaurants, marinas, Amtrak station and beaches, the property offers a year-round or seasonal lakefront lifestyle combining recreational amenities with woodland privacy.
