If you've asked anyone who lives in Woodstock where they'd recommend buying, there's a good chance they said Towne Lake. Over my career, I've helped dozens of clients buy and sell in Towne Lake, and it never disappoints. This master-planned community is one of the most comprehensive in all of Cherokee County — a self-contained world with its own network of sub-communities, amenities, and deeply embedded neighborhood culture.
Towne Lake encompasses over 4,000 homes spread across multiple sub-communities, each with its own character and price point. Total home sizes range from approximately 1,800 square feet on the smaller end to 6,500 square feet for the largest estate homes. The community was primarily developed from the 1990s through the early 2010s, with ongoing infill and some newer construction in select pockets.
One of the things that makes Towne Lake distinctive is its variety. Within the master plan, buyers will find:
Towne Lake Hills (including North, South, East, and West sections) is the heart of the community. These are traditional suburban neighborhoods with two-story homes on well-kept lots, strong HOA oversight, and swim/tennis amenities. Prices typically run $400,000 to $600,000.
For larger executive homes on bigger lots, Towne Lake Estates is the premium section. Homes here often feature four to six bedrooms, finished basements, and enhanced outdoor spaces. Prices range from $550,000 to over $750,000 for the finest properties.
A more urban-style pocket within the master plan, the Village at Towne Lake offers townhomes and attached products that appeal to buyers seeking lower-maintenance living. This section has become increasingly popular with empty nesters and young professionals.
A newer addition to the Towne Lake portfolio, Maple Grove is a gated 55+ community featuring new construction single-family homes with seven unique floor plans in one and two-story designs. This is specifically for the active adult buyer seeking community, low maintenance, and quality new construction.
Towne Lake residents enjoy an exceptional amenity package that includes:
Lake Allatoona Access: One of Towne Lake's crown jewels is its proximity to Lake Allatoona — one of Georgia's premier recreational lakes. Many residents keep boats at nearby marinas and enjoy weekend water activities without a long drive.
Swim & Tennis Facilities: Multiple community pool and tennis complexes serve the various sub-sections of Towne Lake, meaning residents rarely have to travel far for amenities.
Walking & Biking Trails: The community features an extensive network of trails connecting neighborhoods, parks, and green spaces. Families, joggers, and dog walkers use these trails daily.
Parks and Playgrounds: Well-maintained pocket parks and playgrounds are scattered throughout the community, making outdoor recreation accessible at every level.
Towne Lake students are served by Cherokee County School District, generally feeding into Bascomb Elementary, E.T. Booth Middle School, and Etowah High School. Etowah High School in particular has an excellent reputation within Cherokee County, with strong academics, athletics, and extracurricular programs. For many of my clients with children, Etowah's reputation is a primary driver of their decision to focus their search in the Towne Lake zone.
Towne Lake is superbly positioned in Woodstock. The community sits just west of I-575 with multiple access points, making commuting straightforward. Downtown Woodstock's restaurant scene and boutique shops are minutes away. Major grocery chains, big-box retail, medical offices, and the Woodstock outlet shopping district are all within a 5-10 minute drive.
For commuters, the proximity to I-575 puts Marietta and the Cumberland business district within 30 minutes under normal conditions, and Midtown Atlanta within 45-50 minutes. Many of my clients who work remotely find Towne Lake to be nearly perfect: they get space, community, and nature access without being genuinely isolated.
Towne Lake inventory moves consistently because of the community's size and diversity. At any given time, there are typically dozens of active listings across the various sub-communities, giving buyers genuine choices in terms of size, condition, and price point. Unlike smaller neighborhoods where you might wait months for anything to come on the market, Towne Lake almost always has something interesting available.
That said, the best homes — the ones with updated kitchens, finished basements, good lot positions, and cul-de-sac privacy — still move quickly. In my experience, buyers who tour Towne Lake and fall in love with a particular home need to be ready to make a move within 48-72 hours. I help my clients prepare for that pace so they don't lose out through hesitation.
Current pricing across Towne Lake sub-communities spans a wide range: from the mid-$300,000s for smaller townhomes and attached products to $750,000+ for premier estate homes. That breadth is one of the community's greatest strengths — there's an entry point for nearly every buyer with a qualifying budget for this area.
