Living in Towne Lake

Towne Lake is a Woodstock-area community in southern Cherokee County, made up of many separately recorded neighborhoods, two golf courses, a big county park and a trail that walks you right into downtown Woodstock.

Where is Towne Lake?

Towne Lake sits in southern Cherokee County with Woodstock mailing addresses. Here is the part buyers miss: Cherokee County parcel records put some Towne Lake neighborhoods inside Woodstock city limits (Parkview at Towne Lake and Deer Run West at Towne Lake, for example) and others in unincorporated Cherokee County (such as The Fairways, Summerchase and Rose Creek at Towne Lake). Both carry a Woodstock address, so the mail won't tell you which applies. Check the tax record for any specific home.

For the bigger picture, see Living in Woodstock. For a deeper read on the I-575 exit, the golf and the parks, see our Towne Lake area guide.

What neighborhoods are in Towne Lake?

When locals say "Towne Lake," they usually mean the whole area, not one subdivision. Cherokee County parcel records list a number of subdivisions recorded with Towne Lake in the name, including The Estates at Towne Lake, The Fairways at Towne Lake, Grove Park in Towne Lake, Heritage at Towne Lake, Parkview at Towne Lake, Rose Creek at Towne Lake, Summerchase at Towne Lake, Summit at Towne Lake and Deer Run West at Towne Lake. Eagle Watch, with its own golf course, is nearby too. A little farther north near I-575, Great Sky in Canton is a master-planned community of about 1,400 homes with trails down to Hickory Log Creek Reservoir.

Each has its own HOA, rules and amenities, so "living in Towne Lake" can look different from street to street. That's the fun part. Pick two or three, drive them, and compare.

What are the two Towne Lake golf courses?

Eagle Watch. Eagle Watch Golf Club is an 18-hole Arnold Palmer design built in 1989, with an 8,500-square-foot lodge-style clubhouse at 3055 Eagle Watch Drive. The neighborhood around it has more than 1,300 homes and three pools. See living in Eagle Watch.

The Arthur Hills course. Towne Lake's second course is an Arthur Hills design that opened in 1994. It's semi-private, so it sells memberships and also offers public tee times. Several neighborhoods wrap around it.

What parks and trails are in Towne Lake?

Hobgood Park. At 6688 Bells Ferry Road, this 60-acre Cherokee County park has ballfields, batting cages, tennis courts, a playground, an amphitheater, pavilions and a half-mile walking track.

Towne Lake Pass and Noonday Creek Trail. Part of Woodstock's Greenprints Trail System, Towne Lake Pass runs from Towne Lake Parkway toward Woofstock Dog Park. From there, the Noonday Creek Trail heads into downtown Woodstock at Market Street. Dinner downtown, on foot, from Towne Lake? Yes, if you've got the legs.

How do you pick a Towne Lake neighborhood?

• Golf or not. Eagle Watch and the neighborhoods around the Arthur Hills course sit on golf. Others don't. Decide how much fairway you want in your view.
• City or county. Some Towne Lake neighborhoods are in Woodstock city limits and some are unincorporated. Check the tax record, since it affects taxes and services.
• Trail access. If walking to Towne Lake Pass matters, map it from the front door.
• The HOA. Every neighborhood has its own disclosure. Ask for dues, amenities and rules for that specific one.

Which schools serve Towne Lake?

Towne Lake is in the Cherokee County School District. Assignments vary by address, so check any home on the district's attendance maps.
