There are three ways short of buying your own piece of waterfront….  access at the public dock deeded to the city in the 1990′s, Lake Forest Park Civic Club Homes, or the Sheridan Beach Community Club Homes. 

All three waterfront access areas have their own perks, but Lake Forest Park waterfront beach rights through either the Civic Club or the Sheridan Beach Community Club are very desirable.

The Sheridan Beach Community Club is a shared waterfront beach club centered around life on the waters of Lake Washington as well as the on site pool open during the season (parts of May through parts of September)  (Swim Club).

Sheridan Beach Club Homes also enjoy other great perks of membership – Besides the waterfront beach at the Sheridan Beach Community Club, you can also join the Sheridan Beach Community Club Sailing Club and the Sailing Club – it is such a great community asset! The Swim Club is pretty special – swim lessons, polo, water aerobics, and more – lots of updated activities and a great place to gather with your neighbors.

So what are the Sheridan Beach Club Boundaries and where can you find homes within these boundaries with Lake Forest Park Beach Rights?  Sheridan Beach Club Membership is deeded to the residents of both Sheridan Beach – the waterfront neighborhood of Lake Forest Park and to Sheridan Heights – full of gorgeous Lake Forest Park view homes.
