Lake McQueeney vs. Lake Placid

I recently received the a question in regard to Lake McQueeney Vs. Lake Placid. Take a look at the email below and my response. Please feel free to ask me any questions about any of the area lakes.

The email:
I am looking into lakehouses and have a couple of questions ~ is Lake Placid a constant level lake? Also, can you buy gas on Lake Placid? I like McQueeney but am finding it very expensive. Thanks in advance for your help.

My response:
Lake McQueeney is one of the most popular lakes in the area and is know for its social scene (see previous post on the Lake Breeze Ski Lodge) which has driven up Lake McQueeney Real Estate values. Lake Placid is a very similar lake. It is only a mile shorter than Lake McQueeney. The fact that Lake McQueeney is more developed makes the water a little rougher than the other lakes due to more boat traffic and more retaining walls (they bounce the waves back). There is not any gas pumps on the water on Lake Placid, but most people who live on Lake McQueeney go to the gas station and fill up five gallon cans since the price of the gas on the lake is higher (you pay for convenience). If you are looking for more bang for you buck for a lakefront home, I recommend checking out Lake Placid or Meadow Lake (where I currently live). They are both constant level lakes that you can boat, jetski, and/or fish on just as easy as Lake McQueeney. I hope this helps answer your questions.
