Suburban Affordable Lake Scenic Commuter

The western section of suburban Erie lies at the gateway to Presque Isle State Park with sandy beaches, swimming, and boating on the shores of Lake Erie. Low- and mid-rise apartments make up the bulk of the rental market here, ensuring renters have a selection of affordable rentals to enjoy this lake-adjacent locale. Walk to the Lake Erie Arboretum to see fireworks, concerts, and summer outdoor movies. Walnut Creek offers steelhead fishing as well as bass and catfish, and the Lake Shore Country Club provides opportunities to play golf or tennis and swim. Spend a Saturday at Waldameer Park and Water World for a classic amusement park experience. Interstate 79 and 90 lie to the east and south, so the commuting crowd will be well taken care of.
