Richland subdivision stone entrance monument on Walker Church Road, the Richland side of Lake Oconee in Greene County, Georgia — The Richland entrance monument on Walker Church Road.

The neighborhood simply known as Richland is one of the larger subdivisions on the eastern shore of Lake Oconee, and it lends its name to the wider Richland side of the lake in Greene County, Georgia. Its entrance is easy to spot: a stone monument and an unstaffed guard house on Walker Church Road, directly across from the entrance to the Reynolds Lake Oconee Homesteads and the Sandy Creek barn.

Richland is an active, established community with larger lots than many of its neighboring subdivisions. Many of its homes started out older and have since been significantly renovated, and new homes on the last few remaining lakefront lots have started around $3 million. Lakefront properties look out across the water toward the shores of Harbor Club to the west and the West Place community to the south.
