Kingston Harbour — Lexington, South Carolina
Kingston Harbour is an upper-end residential community on Lake Murray in Lexington, South Carolina (ZIP 29072), located off Old Cherokee Road near the Lake Murray Dam. It is best understood as a community lake-access neighborhood: residents use shared waterfront amenities — including a community day dock / marina-style access described in team materials — rather than assuming every homesite has private shoreline.
Housing stock mixes original Mungo Homes Sovereign-line residences with later custom builds. Team content places typical value centering near about $1 million, with lake-access Mungo resales historically discussed from the mid-six figures and custom product extending into multi-million-dollar territory.
The Patrick O'Connor Team publishes Kingston Harbour information and updates, and works with home buyers and sellers on Lake Murray and across the Midlands of South Carolina.
About Kingston Harbour
Kingston Harbour's location is one of its primary differentiators within the Lexington Lake Murray market: roughly two miles from Main Street in Lexington (per team article), 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 described in team Lake Murray guide copy as golf-cart-friendly and centered on a lakefront amenity area with a resort-style pool and community marina. Social and recreational amenities (pool, clubhouse, tennis) are a larger part of the Kingston Harbour story than in ramp-only lake subdivisions. Team materials frame Kingston Harbour as an exclusive amenity community; confirm any gate or security details in current HOA documents.
Windmere Drive (also styled Windermere in some references) appears as a street associated with notable sales inside this community — it is not a separate neighborhood guide.
Homes for Sale in Kingston Harbour
Buyers typically encounter Mungo-built resales with community lake access, custom homes (including higher-end lake-access or near-amenity properties), and occasional higher-priced premium custom listings on public portals.
Because Kingston Harbour is classified as COMMUNITY LAKE ACCESS at the neighborhood level, listing diligence must still confirm whether a specific address has any private dock rights, if any, versus reliance on the community day dock.

With a small 2025 closed count, treat "typical price" as a band, not a single number. Waterfront-adjacent, lake-access, and interior product should be analyzed separately.
HOA dues (time-sensitive): Team article cites $490 per quarter (2025) covering pool, clubhouse, and tennis context. Confirm the current official amount with the association and closing documents before relying on any listing figure.

Types of Homes
Kingston Harbour's builder history matters. Mungo Homes introduced Sovereign-line upgraded homes; additional lots went to custom builders, producing architectural variety and a wide quality/price band. Early homes that have been meticulously maintained remain part of the resale mix alongside newer custom product.
Expect single-family homes with outdoor living oriented toward community amenities and lake lifestyle rather than a single uniform elevation package.

Waterfront Homes
Some addresses may market private water relationships, but the neighborhood-level classification for this guide is COMMUNITY LAKE ACCESS. Do not describe Kingston Harbour as a predominantly direct-waterfront subdivision. Address-level waterfront claims require listing exhibits or survey confirmation — never assume every Kingston Harbour address has private shoreline.
Lake Murray Access
This guide classifies Kingston Harbour as COMMUNITY LAKE ACCESS. Residents' lake use is centered on community facilities. Team materials describe a community day dock for temporary tie-up, marina-style community access language, and golf-cart or short-walk access to the water amenity area.
Easy boat access toward Lake Murray Dam, Sandy Beach, Bomb Island, and waterfront restaurants is part of the lifestyle story. Rules for day-dock use, slip leases, boat size, and guest policies are HOA/marina administration items — confirm in current documents.
Nearby Neighborhoods to Compare
Buyers weighing community lake access often compare Kingston Harbour with Cherokee Shores, Pilgrim Point, Secret Cove, and Laguna Vista Estates. When deciding between community-access amenities and direct-waterfront spend, also review live guides for Spence Plantation and Turners Pointe.
