With cold weather on the way, it’s nice to know there are some open houses this weekend that offer, besides lovely residences, lifestyle choices that include wintertime activities.

One residence is a colonial in the Kitchell Lake region of West Milford. The new homeowners will have the option of lake rights, which includes ice skating in winter, along with many holiday events for the family.
Another residence, the Ryerson unit in Wanaque Reserve, also has a host of activities for winter. The gated active-adult community features an indoor lap pool so homeowners 55 and older can continue their swimming exercises throughout the winter.
This weekend’s search for a home may also include new construction communities, featuring new models and buyer incentives.
