At Lake Society, the best part of the day isn’t on a calendar. It’s the walk to the water with your morning coffee, the game that turns into lunch with friends, the evening when the whole sky goes orange over Lake Lanier. Set on 186 acres in Gainesville, this active adult community for those 55 and better is built for days that feel full without ever feeling rushed. And right now, the places that bring those days to life are rising around the shoreline.
The Club Is Coming Together
At the heart of the community, construction is underway on The Club, a 14,000-square-foot clubhouse designed as the neighborhood’s gathering place. Inside, you’ll find The Crown & Anchor restaurant, a golf simulator and putting green, a theater, a craft room, a fitness center and a demonstration kitchen made for cooking classes and dinner parties. It’s where a quick lunch can stretch into an afternoon and where new neighbors become old friends. Explore the amenities →
Resort Days, Right at Home
Just outside The Club, the beach-entry resort pool with cabanas is taking shape for long, easy summer afternoons. Prefer to start the day with laps? A covered, heated lap pool keeps your routine going year-round. Nearby, the Racquet Club is coming to life with clay tennis and pickleball courts, ready for morning drills, round-robin play and a little friendly competition.
Life on the Water
Lake access is what sets Lake Society apart, and the community docks are on their way with 134 boat slips. Picture a sunset cruise, a morning on the kayak or a slow paddle along the shoreline, then a cookout with friends at the lakeside pavilion. Kayak and paddleboard storage keeps the gear close, so getting out on the water is as easy as deciding to go. View our community site plan →
Something on the Calendar, If You Want It
An onsite activities director will help plan the week, from concerts at the outdoor amphitheater to games on the lawn. Walking trails, green spaces, pocket parks and a dog park round out a neighborhood made for staying active on your own terms.
Close to Atlanta, Worlds Away
Lake Society sits in Hall County, about 45 minutes from Metro Atlanta, making it a natural fit for anyone downsizing from Atlanta to Lake Lanier or relocating from Florida and beyond. Homes by award-winning builders O’Dwyer Homes and Southwyck feature easy main-level living, and North Georgia’s four seasons give every month on the lake its own character, inland and well away from coastal storms.
