Think Ahead to Lakefront Living This Summer

Memorial Day is the official kick-off for the summer. Did you head out to the lake to get started on the season’s outdoor activities? Was it just too far to go? McGuinn Hybrid Homes has a few ways for you to think ahead to lakefront living this summer.

The lakes around Columbia, SC, are some of the most beautiful in the state. With 48,000 acres of crystal clear water, Lake Murray is known as “The Jewel of South Carolina”. You could spend your time in or on the lake—boating, swimming, fishing, or just about any water sport you can think of—or keep your recreation on solid ground. Lake Murray has 620 miles of shoreline, dotted with beaches, campgrounds, picnic spots, recreation areas, restaurants, and all the other entertainment you’d expect by the big lake.

Actually, if you lived close to one of the lakes, all of this fun would be readily available. You wouldn’t have to make a trip or wait for a weekend. Spend a couple of hours canoeing or paddleboarding. Catch your fish and cook it up at home an hour later. Stop and watch the sunset on the way home.

Lakefront living doesn’t have to be limited to weekends and vacations. Make it a year-round thing. Take a look at the opportunities in our communities of single-family homes near Columbia’s lakes.

Centennial at Lake Carolina is one of about 20 neighborhoods in this master-planned community. The lake covers about 200 acres with about 6 miles of lakefront property. The Lake Carolina amenity association gives homeowners plenty of ways to enjoy living in this particular area. The floor plans for our energy-efficient homes range from about 1,500 to 1,700 square feet. Starting in the low $200,000s, Centennial at Lake Carolina is an affordable way to reap the benefits of lakefront living.

Harbour Watch in Leesville is a gated community of single-family homes on Lake Murray. The neighborhood itself is an active one, with a variety of gatherings taking place at the clubhouse. The pool and marina also provide ways to blend recreation with socializing. Our spacious homes—from 1,815 to 3,343 square feet—reflect classic exteriors with contemporary interiors. The open concept combines the kitchen, living room, and dining area. The kitchens are accented with granite countertops, a center island, wood cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. We have move-in ready homes available so you can make the move to living on the lake right now.
