The Business of Real Estate on Lake Keowee
Just this past weekend (Memorial DaY) I found myself in a place I never thought I’d end up at: Greenville, South Carolina. Since it was a holiday, I figured I’d lounge the entire time, but while I was there, I decided completely on a whim to go and do some looking at local area real estate, for I was impressed with the city. People continue to move to the area because it has a moderate climate and winters are not too cold while summers are not too hot, according to locals. Another extremely great thing I found about the area is that it has a large number of mountain lakes - four to be exact. to be honest, I decided to hop right over looking at homes in Greenville’s real estate market simply because I had a limited time and wanted to see what was available on the lakes, for I’ve always wanted to live on a lake and experience the peace and tranquility.
So back to the drawing board for me, it was. I decided, after doing some research online, that I would have the real estate agent take me directly to Lake Keowee. I was surprised at what I found. It is a beautiful mountain lake but you certainly pay a large premium for the chance to live on such a clear lake. So I’ll give you one example: one of the large developments on Lake Keowee, a golf / water community called Keowee Key, had homes that started at about $1.4 million for a lake front home staring at Lake Keowee. So in summary, I have decided to lean back towards the town of Greenville and away from homes on Lake Keowee. I hope that one day I am able to revisit Lake Keowee in the future, but for now I will need to start a different search. I will need to get a better job first!
