What land sells for nearby
Land in Lake County sold for:
- 1 to 10 acres: $42.6k–$113k an acre (27 sales, Oct 2024–Sep 2026); median $65.5k
- Lots under 1 acre: $9.5k–$22.6k a lot (20 sales, Oct 2025–Sep 2026); median $15.5k
The middle half (25th to 75th percentile) and the median of arm's-length single-parcel land sales. Each size uses its own months (the shortest of 12, 24 or 36 that holds enough sales), so the sizes' counts need not add up to another figure on this page. Source: STATS Indiana sales disclosure forms, valid for trending by the county assessor, vacant land with no improvement on the parcel at the sale. Recorded sales, not an estimate of any parcel.
