Market Data as of October 2026
Mark I is so small that sales are rare, and no sale was recorded here over the most recent twelve months. That makes pricing a home here a matter of looking at similar Lake Murray sales nearby and adjusting for the specific shoreline, lot, home, and dock situation. Call 803-243-0224 and we'll build a comparison for a home you're considering.
Community details on this page come from Lexington County public property information, listing descriptions, and the Lexington One school locator, checked October 9, 2026. Ask us for the latest comparable sales and any recorded neighborhood restrictions.
Types of Homes
Mark I is single-family homes only. Homes have three to five bedrooms, mostly in story-and-a-half or two-story plans, with a few one-story homes, and exteriors are brick, vinyl, and wood. Some homes have private pools.
Because the homes were built over five decades, condition and updates vary. Lots are generally between about half an acre and nearly an acre. Ask us about the specific shoreline, the view, the lot's slope, and what dock arrangement goes with the home.
Neighborhood Amenities
Mark I's main amenity is its Lake Murray setting. Listings describe a shared dock with boat slips for several homeowners and a community boat ramp, with the association handling the ramp and the road.
We can't publish association rules or current dues here, because they change. Ask us for the latest association documents, including the rules for the shared dock and slips, before you write an offer.
Shopping, Dining, and Recreation
Mark I is off Old Cherokee Road on the southern side of Lake Murray, so everyday shopping, medical offices, and restaurants in Lexington are a drive away, and the neighborhood's quiet is part of the appeal. See our Patrick's restaurant recommendations for places we like to eat around the Midlands.
Tell us what you want close by — groceries, dining, marinas, or a particular commute — and we'll show you the options from the exact address you're considering.

Home Prices
Mark I has so few homes that price depends almost entirely on the specific home: whether it is on the water, the shoreline and view, the lot, the house's age and updates, and the dock arrangement. We don't publish a single neighborhood average, because one number would be misleading for a community this small.

Waterfront Homes
About half of the homes in Mark I are right on Lake Murray, and the rest are set back from the water. The lakefront homes have the best views, but they also sit at the lake's edge, where FEMA's current flood map shows a high-risk flood area touching some lots. Ask us to check the flood map, the home's elevation, and insurance requirements for any property you're considering.
Docks on Lake Murray need permission from the lake's owner and operator, and rules cover size and placement. We never assume a dock comes with a home — ask us about the permit status and any existing dock or shared slip for the specific property.
Lake Murray Access
Listings describe a shared dock with boat slips for several homeowners and a community boat ramp, run by the neighborhood association. Whether a slip comes with a specific home depends on the paperwork for that home, so we confirm it before you make an offer. Our Lake Murray boat ramps and access guide covers public launch options around Lake Murray if you ever need them.
If you want a neighborhood with a larger marina or more shared amenities, tell us and we'll show you the nearby lake communities that offer them.
