Lakeside life
Lake Lanier is a great home for those seeking a lakeside lifestyle. The sprawling 38,000-acre reservoir offers a diverse range of recreational activities, from boating and water sports to fishing and lakeside picnics, creating an idyllic playground for outdoor enthusiasts. The serene and scenic surroundings of this neighborhood, coupled with the area’s vibrant community and amenities, make it a prime destination for those seeking a harmonious blend of natural beauty and modern conveniences. According to Todd Vanderhoff, a Realtor with EXP Realty, LLC., who has sold over 70 homes in the area, “People move here to have privacy, lake views and send their kids through a great school system.”

Homes on and off the water
Home prices vary, depending on where in the neighborhood you live. Away from the lake on the north side of Keith Bridge Road, homes are smaller – ranch-style or farmhouses – and sit on multi-acre fields. Prices vary up here, but most properties run between $300,000 and $700,000. Closer to the lake, but not on it, on the south side of Keith Bridge Road, prices typically fall in the same range. Homes usually sit on smaller lots in various styles, with some in established subdivisions and communities. On the water, properties reach the millions and sit on multiple acres. “The flatter the lot, the better the view, the steeper the price,” says Vanderhoff.
Some residents have a dock on their property, while others store boats in boat slips. “If you don’t have a dock on your property, you still get the convenience and amenities of the neighborhood; you’ll just have to walk to where your boat is stored,” says Vanderhoff. “A boat slip is included with some properties.” Locals love to take their boats out for tubing or water skiing. Boats can also take them to the various bars and restaurants dotted up and down the shoreline, including Pelican Pete’s Tiki Bar & Grill, which serves burgers and cocktails year-round. Its outdoor patio area mimics a tiki bar, complete with palm trees and torches.

Take the boat out at Charleston Park and Vanns Tavern Park
The lake spans 38,000 acres and has over 90 parks littered up and down its 680 miles of shoreline—including nearly 20 in this neighborhood. Launch your boat at Charleston Park and Vanns Tavern Park. The latter has a public beach open year-round where you can bring your dog. Away from the lake, towards the center of the neighborhood, Bennet Park offers five youth baseball and softball fields and a multi-use turf field. Picnic pavilions and a playground guarantee all kinds of outdoor recreation, from a family barbecue to a play date. In the northeastern sector of the neighborhood, there are two golf courses – Hampton Golf Village and Country Land Golf Course.
Charleston Park is a great place to just come and sit and read a book.
