Another notable thing is that Lakemont is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Lakemont’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Because of many things, Lakemont is a very good place for families to consider.

Is Lakemont perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
