If you are looking for something on the water, you best bet is to buy something that can be fixed up unless you got 200k+ to spend. Also they are running city sewer everywhere out there now so expect prices to just get more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every lake is nasty in ohio. Most if not all i think are man made and are fed by run off from everywhere. I am looking to flip in a few years after the real estate biz gets another jump start. I have always liked the area and my dad has some very good family friends that have lived around there for 20+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Most large lakes in Ohio were feeders for the canal system fuckwat. And Buckeye Ocean (Lake) is was one of these. I grew up in Licking County and everyone knew Buckeye Ocean is pretty nasty. All I can remember is when like half the fish just up and died one summer. State did nothing but keep the dam clean. The rest just rotted in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhatch Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have a cousin that lives off SR 79 on left as you're heading towards the park from I-70. That area is nasty, try to avoid it. The houses are extremely close together and there is a lot of partying and noise. Also, the well water they have was very unsafe and they had to invest in a ultraviolet light filtering system which was expensive. I guess it might be a good fixer up neighborhood but I wouldn't expect to get much return from an investment in the area where she lives.

HAOLE Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 If you want a lake house look at Apple Valley outside Mt. Vernon. The homes are nice, and the lake is CLEAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can remember is when like half the fish just up and died one summer. State did nothing but keep the dam clean. The rest just rotted in the sun. The reason that it gets so nasty is because it's only about 14ft deep at it's deepest point. That also contributes to the fish dying off. I can remember at least 4 different summers that the fish death was so bad all you seen floating was dead fish. The smell was horrific...

Apple Valley lake is about 65 ft at its deepest part, most areas are about 20ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venture Guy Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 yea..i realize the water problem..not a big deal since bottled is so cheap and the filters they have out now....im going to steal a house on the north bank on the lake for very cheap, its kinda hard not to go for it since the return later down the road will probably be very good.

The Man of Steele Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 good luck with that. My aunts house is on north shore and it's worth 289k it is old and small. You will pay for any property out there the time and place was 95. Find a better bandwaggon douche bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
