Lake homes for sale in Northern NJ: 26 listings from the Skylands Real Estate Team

Fall is a beautiful time of year to look at a lake community. The crowds are gone, the roads and shoreline look the way they do most of the year, and neighbors have time to talk. We gathered the 26 homes from this search in one place, from a one-bedroom at $279,000 in West Milford to a five-bedroom at $3.15 million in Kinnelon.

West Milford

West Milford has the most homes on this list, nine in all, with prices from $279,000 to $1,349,000. If you are new to the area, our West Milford community page is a good place to get oriented before you start touring.

Ringwood

Ringwood is close to home for us, and these two homes sit at very different price points: $489,000 and $1,900,000. Our Ringwood community page has more on the town.

Bloomingdale and Franklin Lakes

Two homes in Passaic and Bergen County towns we know well. Read more about Bloomingdale and Franklin Lakes on our community pages.

More lake towns in Sussex and Morris Counties

The rest of the lake towns on this list stretch across Sussex and Morris Counties: Vernon, Sparta, Hardyston, Byram, Hopatcong, Rockaway Township, Denville, and Kinnelon. Lake communities differ a lot from one to the next, so we are glad to talk through how each one works.

Two more homes from the same search

These two came up in the same search. We have included them so you can see everything in one place, and we can tell you more about either one.

What we ask about any lake home

Lake homes come with a few questions that a typical house does not. Here is what we check first, no matter the price or town.

  • The lake or community association: dues, rules, and beach or dock access.
  • Flood zone and flood insurance.
  • Septic or sewer, and well or public water.
  • Road access and winter plowing.
  • Permits for any dock or shoreline work.

Our buyers page explains how we work with people who are buying, and the mortgage calculator is a quick way to see what a monthly payment might look like.
