Centrally located Lakemont draws golf fans and homebuyers
When people think of Augusta, the first thing that comes to mind is often the Masters, a staple Professional Golfers' Association tournament played annually since 1940. When they think of that, they also think of Lakemont, though they may not know it. Centrally located Lakemont, on the shores of Lake Olmstead, is home to the Augusta National Golf Club, which hosts the Masters each April. “When people move to Augusta, this is a place they look,” says Ross Trulock, a Realtor with Blanchard & Calhoun. “It is a prime location to get you downtown and to the medical district, and property values have also increased here.”
Lakemont homes offer lake views and short-term rental potential
Less walkable than some surrounding Augusta neighborhoods, Lakemont features a mix of bungalows and split-level residences. Some homes offer stunning water views of Lake Olmstead. A homebuyer can expect $204,000 to get them a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom house on almost 0.7 acres, but prices vary significantly closer to the water, and a similar 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home on 0.82 acres went for $274,000. Like price, the market is based on each listing, but some move fast.
One of the biggest weekends in the golfing world occurs annually in Lakemont. While for non-golf lovers, this could be a headache, residents tend to rent their properties to make some extra cash during the week of the tournament. Thanks to the Augusta Rule, homeowners can rent their properties up to 14 days a year without reporting it on their annual individual tax form.
Public and private school options are available near Lakemont
Children in Lakemont head to public school in the Richmond County School System. Elementary school students start their journey at Garrett Elementary School before heading to Tut Middle School and Westside High School. The school offers multiple clubs and a full athletic program that includes football. Augusta parents also have the option to send their children to private school, and there is plenty of options in the surrounding areas.
Residents enjoy fishing, hiking and playgrounds close to home
There are unique walking trails and outdoor living activities in Lakemont. Residents can spend a day at Bedford Heights Park for a picnic while kids play on the playground. More unique to the area is the Augusta Canal Trail. Hikers and bikers can use them to get downtown or simply for exercise. The neighborhood also has access to Lake Olmstead, where anglers cast lines on Hunter’s Fishing Bridge right on the lake.
Grocery stores and casual dining options near National Plaza
Residents can head to National Plaza, where they can find a Publix and a Kroger for groceries scattered between multiple restaurants, including World of Beer, Metro Diner and other fast-food stops. Of course, downtown Augusta gives homebuyers a whole plethora of options, from events to retail and restaurants.
Washington Road links Lakemont to shopping and downtown
“You name it, and it is on Washington Road,” says Trulock. “It is an artery to the area and connects the city of Lincolnton to downtown Augusta, and it is how to get out to Evans or downtown.”
