Lake Tuscaloosa Provides Year Round Recreational Options For Alabama Homeowners
Tuscaloosa may be only the fifth biggest city in Alabama, but don’t let it’s size fool you. As the home of the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa serves as the center of activity for the industry, healthcare, commerce, and education in the western section of the state.
In’70, Tuscaloosa formed Lake Tuscaloosa by damming up part of the North River. This created a new 5,855 acre reservoir that replaced the existing two reservoirs as the primary source to meet the water demands of the region.
Before the creation of the new reservoir, the region used Lake Nicol and Harris Lake as the regions water source for both residential and industrial purposes. Presently, Harris Lake only serves industrial needs and Lake Nicol is used primarily as a backup water supply.
While serving the water needs of the Tuscaloosa residents, the lake also provides many fun things to do like boat riding, fishing, and engaging in water sports. This has fueled the demand for lake front and lake view land for building homes.
Anglers enjoy fishing for Alabama spotted bass, largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and white crappie in the Black Warrior River basin. The lake has 177 miles of shoreline that meanders through the natural terrain.
Legacy Point is a 55 acre private community that offers six Craftsmen inspired three or four bedroom homes with stone and cedar shingle exteriors, large porches and decks that provide great lake views. These homes have between 1,800 to 3,600 square feet and are priced around $450,000 and up. Lake view or lakefront home sites are priced from $180,000 to $270,000.
In Closing
Legacy Point has 55 home sites available with a one year build restriction. All properties have a boat slip in the community marina. Public boat ramps are also available for loading and unloading your watercraft.
