Lakeside Living and Waterfront homes in the Upstate

The Upstate has several larger lakes so you have plenty of opportunities to find the best waterfront or lakefront home. This includes Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee, Lake Bowen, Lake Hartwell or smaller lake like Lake Cunnigham, Lake Blalock or Saluda Lake.

Towns and neighborhoods that are directly on the lake and have waterfront properties available are Greer, Taylors, Travelers Rest, Sunset, Anderson, Inman, Laurens, Salem, Westminster, and Easley. Within these towns, you’ll find great restaurants, shopping opportunities, golf courses, and other facilities. Greenville waterfront and lakefront properties offer the best living.

Lakeside or lakefront properties vary in prices, some can go as high as a million or as low as 100k’s like the one listed above that sell for $142,000 ( Check out the complete home details here).

When you buy a lakefront home, one of the most obvious perks is the incredible views and the opportunity to enjoy peace and quiet. You can spend your mornings watching the sunrise, hear the water lapping against your property, and enjoy a quiet afternoon all from your dock. Living on a lakefront property also has amazing health benefits such as stress relief and healthy active outdoor lifestyle enjoying waterbased activities.
