Homes in Springfield Lake

A mix of lakefront homes, former cottages and established split-entry homes. A 1994 split-entry on Lakecrest Drive sits on roughly a 50,000 sq ft lot with a drilled well and septic, while homes on streets right next to the lake are connected to municipal sewage treatment. Servicing varies, so confirm water and sewer on each property.
