Crystal Beach
Crystal Beach Homes and Real Estate – Then and Now: On the northeastern tip of Lake Erie in Ontario, real estate in Crystal Beach sprang up in the late 1800s. Vacationing families from across Toronto and New York hunkered down in lakefront cottages and estates. Many traveled on the majestic SS Canadiana and the Americana to sail, fish and create memories at Crystal Beach Amusement Park.
Crystal Beach offers a bit of quietude and tremendous lakefront beauty, relaxation and recreation. The town of 8500 residents lies directly across from Buffalo, New York on the southernmost edge of Fort Erie in Ontario, Canada. Although the park has long since been closed, the beach is semi-protected and there is a selection of delightful Crystal Beach homes.

Discover an exceptional investment or multi-generational living opportunity at this unique, meticulously maintained one-storey duplex in the highly sought-after community of Crystal Beach. This versatile property offers two distinct, beautifully updated separate units. The front unit features a bright living room, dining room, kitchen, a four-piece bath, and a large bedroom, having previously generated $1,500 per month in rental income. The rear unit provides a comfortable living space with its own kitchen, a living room, a two-piece bath, a main floor bedroom, and a second-level loft that boasts a spacious primary bedroom and a private three-piece bathroom. Flexibility is key here, as a centrally located bedroom can easily be integrated into either unit depending on your tenant's needs, while both units enjoy access to a shared laundry room. The entire home has been lovingly updated with high-quality engineered hardwood flooring throughout, completely eliminating carpet. It boasts two modernized kitchens, two and a half refreshed bathrooms, and abundant closet space. Mechanically, the property is in peak condition with a natural gas forced air furnace and central air conditioning that are both only three years old. The low-maintenance vinyl windows were replaced approximately seven years ago, and the asphalt roof shingles were updated in 2017. Connected to municipal water and sewer services, the exterior shines with updated vinyl siding that creates fantastic curb appeal, a completely fenced private backyard perfect for outdoor relaxation, and four front parking spots. Located just moments away from the famous beach, a quaint downtown area, boutique shopping, and excellent restaurants, this property is perfect for an owner to live in one side while renting out the other, hosting an airbnb, or creating an ideal in-law suite More detailsListed by RE/MAX ESCARPMENT REALTY INC.- SALLY HOWARD

History of Crystal Beach
Crystal Beach Park started as a camp and was named for its clear waters. The heyday history is documented in several books and documentaries. The employees of Crystal Beach Park built their cottages on the sand dunes. This allowed them to be close to work.
The substantial change happened when sideshows and the big Crystal Beach Amusement Park arrived. Patrons were shuttled by steamboat. At its peak 20,000 visitors a day would pass through the area, the number boosted by the large 3000-passenger ships coming from major cities. A Scenic Railway, rides and roller coasters, entertainment and many unique offerings created 101 years of memories at Crystal Beach Park.
