225 W Columbia Ave

A low-rise lakeside condominium complex built in 1978, Bay Village consists primarily of two-bedroom units configured for year-round living and seasonal retreats. The complex shows a mix of ground-, main- and upper-level residences with private entrances, balconies or three-season rooms that frame panoramic views of Goguac Lake. Interiors commonly feature eat-in kitchens with islands or snack bars, pantry space, wet bars, elevator access between levels, and window treatments; many units emphasize open sightlines from kitchen through living areas and upgraded finishes in recent renovations. Grounds include landscaped gardens, a waterfront park and playground, an in-ground pool, boat dock slips managed by the association, and shared storage rooms and covered carport parking on lower levels plus guest parking on the street level. Building systems and utilities are handled through an association fee that often covers water, sewer, refuse, cable and a shared water-softening system. Pet policies are association-governed with small pets typically permitted; unit-level updates noted in listings include replacement windows, newer HVAC and water heaters. The property sits close to local shopping, dining and I-94/Beckley Road access, combining low-maintenance condominium living with direct lake access and community recreational amenities.
