The Village at Lake Club Pointe, Reynolds Lake Oconee | Neighborhood Guide

Inside Reynolds Lake Oconee, on Tailwater, Creekside and Portage Trail. The Lake Club, the tennis center and the marina are a walk away, and the Ritz-Carlton is a short drive.

Several buildings back onto the Oconee Course, with units looking over the 16th fairway and its water feature. Others face the woods, creek or the cove so some buildings are actually considered waterfront.

Every unit comes with its own one-car garage, and a surprising number of these are owned by people who already live at Reynolds and bought the condo mainly for that.

You will see somebody pull in from another part of the neighborhood, park, open a garage door and drive out in the Corvette that lives in there. Or hook up a trailer with a side-by-side on it for the weekend. It is a lot of money to spend on a garage, but a unit that rents well covers itself, and then the storage is effectively free and sitting inside the neighborhood. It does not get more convenient than that.

The Village sits in the short-term rental overlay district, so these can be rented by the night. Some owners put their unit into the program Reynolds runs. Others handle it themselves, usually with a management company.

One thing to know before you buy to rent: the tenant does not get club privileges — no pools, no golf, no fitness center. The membership belongs to the owner, and renting the unit does not pass any of it to the person staying there. Plenty of guests assume otherwise and end up turned away at the front desk of the Lake Club. So set the expectation before they book.

After a vacant lot, these are about the least expensive way to buy into Reynolds Lake Oconee — though they are not the only condos and townhomes here in that range.

I have sold several in here, including one I expected to be a hard sell because it came without a membership. It was not. The income the unit could produce carried the deal on its own.

Two and three bedroom, roughly 1,500 to 2,050 square feet, built between 2003 and 2006. Six units to a building, lettered A through F — the two bedrooms on the lower floors and the three bedrooms on top. And the buildings all have an elevator.

A lot of them sell furnished. Open plans, gas fireplaces, hardwood floors, covered porches, and the garage.

Every property owner at Reynolds Lake Oconee pays the Reynolds POA, which is $2,000 for 2026. Condo owners here pay that and a separate association fee for the buildings, generally somewhere in the region of $400 to $500 a month.

That second fee covers a lot: exterior maintenance, landscaping, exterior repairs, common area insurance, termite control, trash, and the propane. Much of what would be a separate bill in a house is folded into it, which is a large part of the lock-and-leave appeal.

Both have risen over the years and both will keep rising. Ask for the current figures in writing rather than working from a listing, because the numbers in old listings are out of date almost as soon as they are published.

Prices here have run hard. The median sale was around $300,000 in 2018 and up to $370,000 in 2020. By 2024 it was roughly $825,000, and recent sales have settled a little below that.

Recent two bedrooms have run in the $550,000s to upper $800,000s depending on the location. The ones overlooking the water command the highest price. Three bedrooms have gone higher, into the $900,000s.

Someone in transition — building, renovating, or still deciding where at Reynolds they want to land. Someone who wants to be inside the gates without a house to look after. And an investor who wants a property that rents easily and comes with a garage.
