Cresswind is one of the finest new retirement communities in Georgia situated on the shores of Lake Lanier, a 38,000 acre blue green lake. Built by Kolter Homes, the 490 acre neighborhood has one of the largest lakefront clubhouses we've seen in Northern Georgia. The three-story 40,000 square foot clubhouse has an indoor Olympic size swimming pool, heated whirlpool spa and resort-style zero edge outdoor swimming pool. Clubhouse amenities include a state of the art fitness center, aerobics room, locker rooms, learning center and multiple purpose classrooms. The great lawn behind the back of the clubhouse has a social fire pit, event lawn, outdoor movie theater and a scenic pavilion with a cabana bar overlooking the lake. 

Folks searching for the best places to retire Georgia will find covered boat slips adjacent to the clubhouse available for purchase in the $100k range. A day dock is available. The marina bathhouse provides bathroom and shower facilities. Additional amenities include the Tennis Campus with championship seating, bocce ball courts, pickleball court and horseshoe pits. The monthly HOA fees here are low at around $269 per month for the new Lake Lanier homes for sale. In addition to the amenities, the HOA fees include lawn and irrigation maintenance, trash removal, security monitoring, and basic cable providing a low maintenance life at retirement. Social clubs are plentiful and include a travel club, quilting group, painting group, dinner clubs, cooking club, Veterans club, and Pickleball club.

Kolter Homes has carefully designed one of the area's newest retirement communities in Georgia so that most homes don't back up to one another. The roads are paved bordered by beautiful sidewalks and landscaping. Lot sizes average 1/4 to 1/2 acre. Standard home features include granite kitchen counters, oversized showers, hardwood flooring, crown molding, and 11 foot ceilings. Buyers searching for Lake Lanier homes for sale will find Cresswind's home pricing begins in the mid $200k's, plus the lot. The spacious homes are one level ranch-style homes with the option of adding a basement or loft. Approximately 1/3 of the community is built out of the 950 homes planned. 

Cresswind at Lake Lanier is located on the northeast side of the lake, below the country's snowline and southeast of Gainesville Georgia. Baby Boomers and active adults who are searching for the best places to retire in Georgia are drawn to the area because of the mild winter weather and four distinct seasons. Quality medical care, scrumptious restaurants and brand name shopping are all available in Gainesville. The neighborhood is easily accessible to Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, just over an hour's drive to the south.
