We like to call it home

Ask anyone who has the good fortune to call this region home, and they will tell you there are few places as rewarding to live in as Lake Placid. But this region encompassing Essex County and the Lake Placid area is so much more than striking views, a magnificent landscape, and beautiful lakes — it's about community, a place where everyone is welcome, a shared sensibility, and an underlying understanding that by living here, you're part of something special.
