It opened in 1984. About 126 homes sit in its residential sections, and club membership is optional for homeowners.

On November 8, 2026, there were 3 active homes for sale in Bear Lakes, all single-family, from $1.55M to $3.95M, per the MLS feed on my site. With so few listings, the median is not a reliable value guide.

I matched listings by MLS subdivision name, so a home filed under a different subdivision name may not appear in these counts.
