The Point at Lake Jeanette

The Point at Lake Jeanette occupies a 100-acre peninsula jutting into the 270-acre Lake Jeanette in north Greensboro, about 15 minutes from downtown. Developed between 1996 and 2004, it comprises 218 lots spread across five distinct villages, each with its own architectural character and price point: Dutchman's Pipe (14 brick duplex buildings with 1,870–2,130 sq ft attached homes and first-floor primary suites), Indigo Two (attached homes 1,670–2,500 sq ft), Checkerberry Square (traditional single-family homes from 2,500 to over 5,000 sq ft), Rosebay (32 single-family homes from 2,650–4,450 sq ft on the west side), and Laurel Cove (21 custom estates 4,000–6,275 sq ft with north-facing lake views). Though listed in 55+ directories and popular with retirees and empty nesters, The Point is NOT age-restricted — it's an all-ages 'active lifestyle' community where neighbors of every stage live side by side. The lifestyle centers on the water and the outdoors. Residents enjoy a private marina with watercraft storage, a small-boat launch, and rental canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and pontoons. The lake is a wildlife and bird sanctuary — blue herons, owls, eagles, ducks, and turtles are regular sights — and boating rules keep it peaceful (no jet skis, no motorized boats, 24-foot maximum length). Seven miles of sidewalks and walking trails lace the Lake Jeanette master community, with two pedestrian bridges crossing the lake and 11 T-docks and gazebos scattered along the shoreline for fishing or quiet views. All residents of The Point belong to the Lake Jeanette Master Association and have access to the marina and common areas. Membership to the adjacent Lake Jeanette Swim and Tennis Club is available separately and popular among residents — the private club offers 10 tennis courts, 6 pickleball courts, two swimming pools with waterslides, swim teams, fitness programs, and year-round social events. The HOA handles sidewalks, landscaping, lighting, and irrigation in common areas; the base master fee is modest, though individual villages carry additional neighborhood-level dues reflecting their specific services. Location is a major draw. Downtown Greensboro is 11–15 minutes south via North Elm Street and I-840 (the Greensboro Urban Loop). The Greensboro Science Center — zoo, aquarium, and ziplining — is five minutes away. Harris Teeter, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Sprouts, and Trader Joe's are all within a 10-minute drive. Cone Health hospitals and Piedmont Triad International Airport are both easily reachable. Homes here rarely turn over — many owners stay for decades — a telling sign of how residents feel about the community.
