Boardwalk Villas — Lexington, South Carolina

Boardwalk Villas is a low-maintenance townhouse-style condominium community on the Lexington side of Lake Murray in Lexington, South Carolina (ZIP 29072), off North Lake Drive (SC Highway 6) near the Lake Murray Dam corridor. It is best understood as a community lake-access neighborhood: residents share community lake amenities that commonly include a boat ramp, marina / shared docks, dry storage, a scenic boardwalk, and gazebos — rather than assuming every unit has private shoreline. Public listing fields often describe deeded lake access within a waterfront community, with shared dock and ramp use.

The team's existing Boardwalk Villas overview and Lake Murray condos guide describe about 48 townhouse-style condos established in the mid-1980s, with HOA-managed exterior care and utilities that support a vacation-like, lock-and-leave lifestyle close to Lexington and Irmo. September 2026 public portal samples showed active asks roughly from the low-$230,000s into the mid-$260,000s, alongside recent public sold displays near the mid-$280,000s to low-$300,000s. Treat those figures as CORROBORATED portal / public-display samples, not MLS statistics.

About Boardwalk Villas

Boardwalk Villas sits along the Lexington / south-shore Lake Murray market just after the dam corridor on North Lake Drive, in the same geography buyers often compare with other Lexington condo and townhome lake communities. The primary street associated with the community is Boardwalk Lane. Public listing directions describe approaching from the Lake Murray Dam toward Lexington, with the community tucked in before Andrew Corley Road.

What distinguishes Boardwalk Villas within the Lexington Lake Murray condo segment is a concentrated, HOA-supported lake amenity package: community boat ramp, marina / resident docks (often with lighting described on listings), dry storage, a boardwalk along the water, gazebos, and lakeside gathering areas appear repeatedly on the team overview, the team's Lake Murray condos guide, and public listings. Boat slips are typically described as available by application or low-cost rental rather than automatically deeded with every unit. Never assume every Boardwalk Villas address is private waterfront.

Housing stock is attached townhouse-style condominiums — ground-level / one-story floor plans are common on recent samples — offering 2- and (in community descriptions) 3-bedroom layouts. Architecture on public samples includes traditional elevations with wood or cedar siding; renovation quality (kitchens, windows, flooring, baths) is a major part of the resale story in an established mid-1980s community.

Lexington County Register of Deeds restrictions indexes list BOARDWALK VILLAS (Book 701, Page 313), with additional recorded entries for bylaws, community standards, and related instruments — confirming the subdivision name and association governance in county public records. Lexington County GIS lists the subdivision as BOARDWALK VILLAS @ LAKE MURRAY (about 51 residential parcels in county GIS extracts used for this research; team copy cites about 48 units — confirm preferred public figure).

Homes for Sale in Boardwalk Villas

Homes for sale in Boardwalk Villas are typically townhouse-style condominiums / attached patio-home product on Boardwalk Lane. Product types that appear in public market activity include:

Lake-access units that rely on community boat ramp, shared docks / marina, dry storage, and boardwalk amenities
Units marketed with lake or cove views within the waterfront community (address-level — confirm view and water rights in listing docs)
Renovated vs original-condition inventory (updates often drive meaningful price differences in the same community)

Because Boardwalk Villas is classified as COMMUNITY LAKE ACCESS at the neighborhood level, listing diligence must still confirm whether a specific unit's marketing of "waterfront," "lake access," or "waterfront community" refers to shared amenities, a view orientation, slip rental rights, or something else documented in the closing package.

Inventory in a small ~48-unit community can be limited at any given time. Buyers often need listing alerts and early notice when a Boardwalk Lane unit comes available. Sellers should expect buyers to compare Boardwalk Villas against other Lexington Lake Murray condo options on HOA inclusions, slip availability, renovation status, and proximity to the dam / North Lake Drive corridor.

Market Data as of September 2026

All time-sensitive figures live only in this section. Figures below are not MLS statistics. Public portal examples are labeled as publicly available listing or sales displays. Prefer a Patrick / Kelsey MLS pull for trailing-12-month closed count, median, range, DOM, and unit-segment split (see MLS Data Request).

Classification context: COMMUNITY LAKE ACCESS / waterfront community with shared ramp, docks, storage, and boardwalk — analyze view-oriented and fully updated units separately from more basic lake-access comps.
Active ask samples (CORROBORATED, Sep 2026 public portals): roughly low-$230,000s to mid-$260,000s — examples observed include $229,900 (42 Boardwalk Lane on Compass) and $264,999 (3 Boardwalk Lane on Coldwell Banker Homes / Palmetto Park after a Sep 16, 2026 reduction from $269,999).
Recent sold samples (CORROBORATED public displays): 7 Boardwalk Lane closed $284,000 (Aug 2026 Compass / public-record display); 10 Boardwalk Lane closed $306,000 (Aug 2026 Compass / public-record display). An earlier closed display on 42 Boardwalk Lane at $180,000 (Sep 2025) illustrates how condition and updates can widen the band.
HOA (time-sensitive, team + listing-cited): approximately $275 per month on the team's Boardwalk Villas overview (noted for 2025) and on multiple Sep 2026 public listing displays (3 Boardwalk Lane; 42 Boardwalk Lane). Confirm the current official amount, billing schedule, and what is included (water, sewer, trash, landscaping, exterior maintenance, common areas, and any roof / insurance line items) with the association and closing documents. Slip and dry-storage fees are typically separate.
Thin-page / blog context: The team's overview and Lake Murray condos guide remain useful lifestyle sources; use the CORROBORATED 2026 portal band above for current price positioning until MLS verification.

With a small visible inventory sample and no team-published closed-sale market review for this subdivision yet, treat "typical price" as a band, not a single number. Renovated and view-oriented units should not use interchangeable comps with original-condition lake-access units.

Types of Homes

Boardwalk Villas housing is townhouse-style condominiums / attached patio-home product. Public inventory commonly shows about 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with heated living areas around roughly 1,150–1,200 sq ft on recent samples; community descriptions also reference 2- and 3-bedroom floor plans. One-level / ground-level living appears frequently.

Floor plans often emphasize open living, private patios or screened porches, and low exterior maintenance. Renovation quality and updates (roof, windows, kitchens, baths, flooring, HVAC) are meaningful parts of the resale story in a mid-1980s community. Parking is typically surface / assigned rather than attached garage on samples reviewed for this guide — confirm for each address.

Shopping, Dining & Recreation

Boardwalk Villas' location on the North Lake Drive / Lake Murray Dam corridor places residents within a short drive of Lexington shopping and dining, Irmo-area retail across the dam, medical services along Lexington corridors, and everyday Midlands conveniences. Lake-oriented recreation is a primary lifestyle driver: boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing via community ramp and marina access, plus walks along the community boardwalk.

See the team's Lake Murray restaurants by boat and Lake Murray boat ramps resources for regional context beyond the neighborhood's own ramp and docks. Jake's Landing and other nearby lake destinations are frequently referenced in public listing location language for this corridor.

Waterfront Homes

Boardwalk Villas is marketed as a waterfront community, but that does not mean every unit has private Lake Murray shoreline or a private dock. Public listing waterfront fields commonly use language such as deeded lake access, waterfront community, cove view, and shared dock. Some units enjoy stronger lake or cove views; others primarily use shared amenities.

Waterfront-community pricing is not interchangeable with private-dock single-family comps elsewhere on Lake Murray. Slip assignments, rental fees, boat-size limits, and dock rules are address- and association-level diligence items. Never assume every Boardwalk Villas address is private waterfront or includes a boat slip.

Lake Murray Access

This guide classifies Boardwalk Villas as COMMUNITY LAKE ACCESS (waterfront community with shared lake amenities).

Community lake access — boat ramp / launch, marina / shared resident docks, dry storage, boardwalk, and gazebos described on the team overview, Lake Murray condos guide, and multiple public listings support lake use for residents.
Slip / storage rights — boat slips and dry storage are typically available by application or rental as capacity allows (team blog and listing language) — confirm waitlists, fees, and rules; do not assume every purchase includes a slip.

Lake-access rules, slip policies, guest use, boat-size limits, and any sundeck / boardwalk policies are association matters — confirm in current HOA and closing documents.

Location & Commute

Approximate positioning: Lexington side of Lake Murray, ZIP 29072, off North Lake Drive (SC Highway 6) near the Lake Murray Dam. Public listing directions describe crossing the dam toward Lexington, with Boardwalk Villas on the right before Andrew Corley Road.

This dam-corridor location is typically a short drive to everyday Lexington amenities and to Irmo-area retail across the dam. Lexington Lake Murray corridor communities are often within a roughly 20–30 minute drive to downtown Columbia under typical conditions — actual times vary by traffic and destination. I-20 and I-26 access is available via Lexington and Midlands highway connections.

Nearby Neighborhoods to Compare

Buyers weighing Lexington Lake Murray condo and lake-access options often compare Boardwalk Villas with other communities featured in the team's Lake Murray condos guide — including Harbor Heights, Harborside, Hammock Bay, Spence's Point, Seay Cove, and related Lexington condo names (dedicated Spence-gold guides for those condo communities may not be live yet — use the condo guide and name-only comparisons carefully).

Also compare lifestyle and commute with Kingston Harbour, Beacon Point, Spence Plantation (gated custom / estate mix — different product tier), and Turners Pointe. Browse more Midlands and Lake Murray context from the Neighborhoods section. Keep the thin Boardwalk Villas overview linked as a source page.

Buying a Home in Boardwalk Villas

Practical buyer checklist:

Confirm whether the unit's "waterfront" / "lake access" language means shared amenities, a specific view orientation, and/or documented slip/storage rights
Review HOA covenants, current dues (listing/team-cited ~$275/month), what utilities and exterior items are included, ramp/dock/boardwalk rules, rental rules, pet rules, and any assessments
Verify slip waitlists, monthly slip fees, dry-storage fees, and boat-size limits with the association
Confirm condominium insurance (master policy vs HO-6), roof responsibility language, and any special assessments
Confirm school attendance for the specific address via Lexington County School District One tools
Compare Boardwalk Villas comps to other Lexington Lake Murray condo communities — do not blend Spence estate comps with Boardwalk condo comps

Selling a Home in Boardwalk Villas

Boardwalk Villas sellers compete in a lifestyle-driven Lake Murray condo segment where clear positioning matters. Marketing that clarifies community lake-access amenities (ramp, marina, boardwalk), documents any slip or storage rights, and showcases renovation updates typically performs better than square-footage-only positioning.

In a small community with limited visible turnover, professional photography, accurate amenity language, and early launch awareness help. Price to recent Boardwalk Lane comps by condition — a fully renovated unit and an original-condition unit are not the same product.
