Savannah Lakes Village

Savannah Lakes Village sits by Lake Thurmond in South Carolina, with 71,000 acres of water and 1,200 miles of shoreline, and folks who move in get to enjoy being surrounded by three state parks and a national forest, so there's always somewhere to walk, bike, or just look at trees and water. The community has all sorts of homes-new builds, cottage homes, resale houses, condos by the lake, or lots tucked inside-and there's a real estate team that sticks close, working from the Sales Center at the end of Village Drive, open every day but not too early or too late, and they do more than sell, sticking around to help after people move in, partnering with local builders and other real estate folks who actually live nearby. People here get to use both the Tara and Monticello Golf Courses-well known for being scenic and a little challenging-and there's a big Recreation Center with places to play tennis, pickleball, or just take it easy. There are over 100 miles of trails for hiking or biking, clay courts for tennis, and a big gym for fitness classes and swimming, plus clubhouses, a fitness and sports complex, and places for folks to eat, whether they want something fancy or just something simple with friends. The lake makes boating, fishing, and sailing easy, and the Member Portal helps people stay up-to-date with clubs, events, and their mail. Mail and community documents get handled right in the community, which makes things easier for residents. The community has a solid spirit, with clubs, group activities, and things like Sights & Sounds attractions for folks who want to keep busy. There are nearby stores and restaurants, so running errands or planning a day out doesn't take much time, and the staff includes on-site first responders and access to medical services if something goes wrong. Savannah Lakes Village has been called South Carolina's Premier Active-Adult Community and got recognized by the National Active Retirement Association as Best Overall Active Adult Community, but most days are about being outside, gathering at the clubhouses, meeting up for meals, or enjoying Lake Thurmond's views, and the people who live here tend to stay involved, whether it's forming new groups, helping neighbors, or keeping an eye on new home models like The Hamilton, The Preston, The Camille, and The Charlotte. There are lot options and preferred builders for folks wanting to customize, accommodations for guests, and extras like specialized care types for those who need assistance, so while there's plenty going on, it's easy to slow down and just watch the water, too.
