Are you drawn to the water – kayaking, fishing, or just the outdoors? Then Lake Jeanette Villages should draw you in! Just 15 minutes north of downtown Greensboro, this community sits in the middle of beautiful Lake Jeanette.
Lake Jeanette home construction started in the early 1990s. The Villages of Lake Jeanette, are comprised of 16 villages: Eastern Shores which has 182 lots in 5 villages, The Point at Lake Jeanette with 218 lots in 5 villages, Southern Shores with 387 lots in 3 villages and Northern Shores with 377 lots in 3 villages. There are 231 lots that are lake view and 934 lots that are non lake view. The proximity to the lake, lot and home size will determine the village and price point and range from the mid 300 thousands to 1 million plus. Each village is different- some are only brick, some have stucco finishes, there’s a variety of lot sizes, all have garages but some driveways are shared. Some of the villages even have an entrance to the hiking trails. There is a gated community called Eastern Shores Estates that has 9 homes which are the largest and most secluded. In many of the villages nothing has really sold since 2020 which means people really love it here and don’t want to move!
