[**Open Plantation Lakes in Google Maps →**33.7378° N, 78.9524° W · ZIP 29579](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=33.7378,-78.9524) ## Character A true master-planned lake community where morning kayakers share the water with afternoon fishing boats. Streets wind through mature landscaping past varied home styles — from attached townhomes to 4,000-square-foot estate homes on lakefront lots. The HOA maintains extensive amenities, and the community has a strong year-round resident base. ## History Plantation Lakes was developed beginning in the early 2000s as Carolina Forest's population began its rapid expansion. The community was among the first in the district to offer large-lot lakefront living at a scale competitive with coastal alternatives.
