Groveland is known as a waterfront community and the beach Park takes up most of the waterfront real estate. This small neighborhood is just about 50 homes and features larger estates, original historical homes, unique architecture, and even some modest cabins, reminiscent of the Bible camp era.
Homes were built in the 1920s all the way up to last year, in fact. Many of the homes built in the 1930s were used as lakefront weekend homes from people in Seattle and Bellevue. Today, only a few of those historical homes remain and those that are have been extensively rebuilt, remodeled and refurbished.
The small and narrow streets and Groveland have a country like feel with no curbs and no Lane dividers. There are multiple shade trees and established forests not only along the roads but in people’s backyards.
