The lake
About Austin Lake
Austin Lake is the surprise on this list. It is 1,090 acres, about 2.2 miles long, sitting inside Portage — and it is 11 feet deep at its deepest, averaging around 5. For a lake that size, that is shallow, and it is the first thing to understand before you look at anything on it.
Shallow water behaves differently. It warms faster, it grows more weed, and it changes what kind of boat makes sense and where you can run it. None of that is a defect — plenty of people want exactly this lake — but it is not interchangeable with a deep lake at a similar price, and the listing will not tell you.
There is a public launch, and all watercraft are allowed. Being inside the city, it is the most convenient lake on this site to live on year-round if work keeps you in Portage or Kalamazoo.

Sales marked older closed before the current twelve-month index window. Sales marked outlier fall inside it but sit outside the statistical fence — a short frontage under an expensive house produces a very high figure per foot, and that number describes the house rather than the shoreline. Both are listed rather than hidden so the median can be checked against the full record.

Sold alerts
Know what sells on Austin Lake.
Every time a home closes on Austin Lake, I'll email you the address, what it asked, what it actually sold for, and how long it sat. That is the whole email.

How this figure is calculated
The price-per-front-foot figure is the median closed sale price divided by feet of water frontage, for homes that sold on Austin Lake in the trailing twelve months.
Listings with reported frontage outside 20 to 1,500 feet are excluded as data-entry error, and statistical outliers are trimmed before the median is calculated. We publish this figure only where there are at least eight qualifying sales in the window — below that, the sample is too small to be reliable.
