What's different about Crystal Lake: Pergolas, sheds and playsets in Crystal Lake start with two questions — is the base right, and does the village or HOA need to sign off — and since subdivisions from the 1980s through the 2000s sit on larger lots, with older homes clustered near the lake itself, yards and setbacks vary widely. For commuter families investing in homes they plan to grow into, a structure built square on a proper gravel or paver base is one that stays functional for a decade. Builds have gone up from the lakefront out to the newer neighborhoods off Route 14 this season.
