About the Community
Waterford Pointe is a smaller, more boutique gated community on the western shore of Lake Keowee, minutes from downtown Seneca and about 20 minutes from Clemson. Where The Cliffs and The Reserve are club-first communities, Waterford Pointe is a residential neighborhood first, with a well-run amenity package layered in via a modest HOA.
The community's biggest draws are its shoreline and its size. Homes here sit on some of the western shore's best waterfront, and the community itself is small enough that neighbors actually know each other. The community marina makes boat ownership easy for owners without a private dock, and the community pool, tennis, and clubhouse deliver most of the day-to-day amenities buyers want without a hefty club buy-in.
Waterford Pointe attracts a mix of full-time residents, second-home owners from Charlotte and Atlanta, and Clemson-connected families. For buyers who want gated Lake Keowee waterfront without a $70K+ private-club initiation, this is one of the strongest values on the entire lake.
