Outlook Cove condos is the perfect get-away spot Community offers lake access, nature views and fine living
"After looking for years we found the perfect get-away condominium! Outlook Cove far exceeds our expectations with its breathtaking lake views, beautiful setting, amenities available, the proximity to Chicago, the location in the center of so many activities, the incredible design and the quality of construction."
These are comments from residents of Outlook Cove condominiums.
"Our new condo is better than we even hoped it would be. We can get from our home in Orland Park to this fantastic get-away in less than an hour. That's quicker than we can get to down-town Chicago. As soon as we cross the state line, we breathe a sigh of relief knowing that very soon we'll be driving into our indoor parking garage and unlocking the door to our lovely new condo. When we purchased our condo, we had no idea how much we'd be here. We thought we'd come out once per month, but instead we find ourselves here every weekend and wishing we never had to leave. The breathtaking views, the beautiful setting, the close proximity to Chicago and the value make this the greatest place imaginable."
Outlook Cove is located on the sunset coast of a natural 600-acre lake in La Porte, Ind. Pine Lake is a family friendly, boater friendly lake that fishermen and birds flock to year 'round.
"Just sitting on your balcony, you'll likely see Great Blue Heron, turtles, geese, swans, loons and a multitude of other birds and aquatic wildlife." says Laurel Wiseman, Director of Sales.
Connected via a navigable channel is 160 acre Stone Lake, a nature lover's paradise. Combined, these lakes offer plentiful public beaches, playgrounds and picnicking areas.
"Leave your office attire and dress shoes at home and bring your shorts, tank tops and flip-flops. Living here is like being on vacation every day," says Wiseman.
Whether it's a leisurely sunset pontoon ride, a jet ski or a fishing boat, Pine Lake offers fun for all. At Outlook Cove you can sunbathe poolside or stroll the boardwalk to the private piers. The new fitness center features a Bow-Flex, treadmill and stationary bikes positioned in front of the lakeside window wall.
Because the architect is the developer as well as the construction manager, he has been able to design the project using substantial construction methods at a controlled cost. These savings are passed on to the purchasers. According to Gerald Fedorchak, "This high quality construction is a more expensive method of building than the typical stick-built framing, but it means a higher quality of life to our residents, and lower long term maintenance costs."
Outlook Cove also allows people to purchase either a professionally finished unit, or a custom designed condo with the architect. They offer one, two and three bedroom condos ranging from 1,250 to 2,350 square. Standard units come complete with such features as two bathrooms, professionally designed kitchens, 9-foot ceilings, indoor parking, abundant storage, elevators, 8-by-24-foot balconies overlooking the lake, laundry rooms, and concrete and masonry construction for sound and fire resistance.
Outlook Cove is located less than 60 minutes from Chicago.
"As a daily commuter to Chicago, I can actually make it to work faster from Outlook Cove than from my south suburban home. Two things that make the commute especially pleasant is having the sun always to my back and realizing that within minutes of parking at Outlook Cove, I can be on my boat relaxing," says a now former south suburban resident.
Outlook Cove is also located in an area full of activities. If gaming is for you, the Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, Ind., and the Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Mich., are both less than 15 minutes from Outlook Cove.
Golfers will find opportunities in and around La Porte. Three courses are right in La Porte, with five more within a 15-minute drive. Additionally, the nationally famous Swan Lake Golf Academy is less than 45 minutes away.
La Porte is a community with a historic downtown showcasing numerous antique shops, lakes, parks and free concerts every week during the summer. Outlook Cove's proximity to both Michigan City (Lighthouse Premium Outlet Mall, Dunes National Lakeshore, The Summer Art Festival and the Jazz Concert at Washington Park ) and New Buffalo, Harbor Country (wine tasting, and U-Pick apple orchards) make this the ideal location.
