How Much Would It Take To Live on Colorado's Lake Loveland?

I've done it; you've done it. You drive west down Highway 34 - may be headed to Estes Park - and gaze out the window as you pass Lake Loveland, looking at the houses along the lake. Some have docks with boats neatly tied up waiting for a weekend of fun.

Spoiler alert: It totally is.

But the question remains whether or not you could actually afford it! It's not cheap to live on any lake in Northern Colorado, but especially not cheap to live right on Lake Loveland. Sure there are some affordable fixer-uppers a street or two away from the lake, but to score one of the exclusive homes right on the water, it's going to take some waiting and it's going to take some cash.
