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.
