Richland Subdivision Lake Oconee Quick Facts
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. Many of them look directly across at the homes on Lighthouse Circle, the most expensive street inside Harbor Club. This subdivision has several houses right on the “dog-leg” of the channel of the lake where there is active no wake enforcement. And DNR does patrol the area.
