Lakeside Village sits on the shores of Lake Nottely, up in northern Georgia near Blairsville, and it's got these 100 single-family homes with two or three bedrooms, most set on big lots, and some even come with a boat slip, but all the homes use septic systems and the roads are privately paved, so folks don't have to worry about rough gravel. Nature plays a big part in daily life here, you see, because the whole place looks out over the lake, with a peaceful sitting porch, a community swim platform, two marina-style docks, a private boat launch, spots for kayak storage, and a community storage yard for trailers and watercraft, and if you like to walk or just watch the water, it's easy with the outdoor walking trails and lakefront views. The community is active for people 55 and older, and there's a Board-elected homeowners association handling things, and folks hold regular events in the clubhouse-billiards, card games, monthly breakfasts, potluck dinners, and other social gatherings-plus there's a gathering gazebo for more outdoor get-togethers. Around here, people can play pickleball, bocce ball, or shuffleboard, and there's a fitness room, arts and crafts space, library, movie room, and game rooms, and outdoor common areas for enjoying both fresh air and company.
For those needing more help, Lakeside Village offers assisted living services, including help with daily routines like dressing, bathing, and managing medicine, as well as non-ambulatory care for anyone needing support to get around, and the staff pays attention to each person's needs, always nearby with 24-hour call systems and regular supervision. They provide community services such as housekeeping, laundry, move-in support, and concierge help, so folks can focus on what matters most to them, and there's also a dietary program with nutritious and tasty meals, including special diets like diabetes-friendly options or allergy-sensitive choices, served all day, restaurant-style or in the dining room, and meals are made to adapt to each resident's dietary needs. Every unit has air conditioning, cable TV, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, telephones, and both Wi-Fi and high-speed internet, so staying connected, comfortable, and entertained isn't hard, and with plenty of resident-run activities, it's easy for people to join in when they feel like it.
The grounds are peacefully surrounded by nature and parks, which is handy for walks, and it's close to worship places for those who want spiritual engagement. There's a pharmacy and a doctor's office nearby for quick medical trips, and transportation and parking are available if someone needs to go out. If caregivers need a break, respite care is offered, giving short-term help. Claims management and digital payment services make it easier for families to handle insurance or private pay, and staff can help if billing gets confusing or there are payment delays.
Area flooding did affect parts of Blairsville during Hurricane Helene in September 2024, so new residents should keep that in mind, but Lakeside Village remains a lush lakeside community with year-round lake access, communal programs, and steady support for daily living in a simple, scenic setting.
