Since March, many people have been working from home and realizing that the transition works for them. Similarly, businesses and companies have concluded that remote work can be effective.

One of the many perks of working remotely is the commute from your home to the office no longer has to be a deciding factor on where you choose to live. Gerstad Builders is an ideal location for people who enjoy diversity in their surroundings. The best part? Now is the right time to buy.

2020 has been a year of adjustments and growing pains for the world, so now is the time to make the changes you’ve been looking to make regarding your home and environment.

Outdoor activities

There are a variety of lakes to choose from in the area, for instance, Fox River, McHenry Dam State Park, Lake Geneva, Williams Bay, Rock Cut State Park, Three Oaks Recreational area including a cable park, Griswold Lake, Pistakee Lake, and more. The options for fun in the sun are endless as the lakes allow fishing, boating, tubing, and hiking. Let’s not forget the amazing Prairie Trail which is a 26 mile bike trail that goes from Illinois to Wisconsin. Prefer to walk? Make the drive up to Lake Geneva, pack a lunch and explore the sights along the 22 mile walking path that goes around Lake Geneva.

Nearby farmer’s markets means you’re close to the countryside for some fresh produce. Local street festivals and events for holidays ensure that residents of a Gerstad community are never floundering to find an activity for everyone in the family to enjoy.  Keep in mind that the fun doesn’t end in the summer! There are activities for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, areas to ski, sled, and snowboard, and even a Winterfest!
