Del Webb at Lake Oconee, Georgia

Speaking of golf communities, Del Webb at Lake Oconee is another one that is known to be a great place for the enthusiasts of this sport. It is very close to Atlanta, about a two-hour drive, and it is a gated community where people are happy to get around from the place to play with their golf carts.

Otherwise, the retirement community is placed on the shore of Lake Oconee, and if you are not the fondest of golfing, you can easily end up finding other activities to do around the water, making it a perfect oasis for those who love to sail, fish, or even kayak or paddle board.

The homes in the area are spacious and big, depending on the type you end up getting, and some of them end up having open kitchens, up to four bathrooms, formal dining rooms, and completely private suites for any overnight guests, so if family or friends are coming over, you wouldn’t have to worry about where you can host them. Places in the heart of Greene Country, you can find plenty of things to do even outside this gated community, with plenty of chances to go shopping, be it for necessities or the finest fashion, antiques, and furnishings!

The perks of this retirement community (and the subsequent high price tag it comes with) are the fact that it is gated and that it offers opportunities for activities and community without having to leave the premises too often. The houses are also new and upscale, giving you the opportunity to live a quiet retirement amongst a natural oasis.
