About Kingston Harbour
Kingston Harbour's location is one of its primary differentiators within the Lexington Lake Murray market: close to Main Street in Lexington and near the dam, with relatively quick access to the Irmo/Harbison retail corridor and Columbia employment centers. That "close-in lake" positioning attracts buyers who want Lake Murray recreation without a long Gilbert or Prosperity commute.
The neighborhood is golf-cart-friendly and centered on a lakefront amenity area with a resort-style pool and community day dock. Social and recreational amenities (pool, clubhouse, tennis) are a larger part of the Kingston Harbour story than in ramp-only lake subdivisions. Ask us about gate and security details for any home you are considering.
Windmere Drive (also spelled Windermere) is a street inside Kingston Harbour.
