Market Data as of October 2026
Rose Lake is small and homes here change hands only occasionally. In the past twelve months we are not aware of many closings. Because the homes range from the 1970s to the 2000s and lots run from about two to five acres, price depends heavily on the home's age and condition, its acreage, and any outbuildings or pool. Call 803-243-0224 and we'll pull the most recent sales of homes like the one you're considering.
Community details on this page come from Lexington County public property information, current listings and the county flood map, and the Lexington School District One school locator, checked October 9, 2026. Ask us for the latest comparable sales and any recorded neighborhood restrictions.
Types of Homes
Rose Lake is single-family homes on acreage. Three- and four-bedroom homes are the most common, with some five-bedroom homes, and most are two-story. Exteriors vary from brick to wood to siding, which reflects homes built one at a time over several decades rather than by a single builder.
Because most homes are thirty to forty years old, condition and updates matter a great deal, from roofs and heating and cooling to septic or sewer service. Some properties have pools or their own ponds. Ask us how a specific home sits on its lot and where the boundaries run.
Neighborhood Amenities
We have not found a community pool, clubhouse, playground, or shared lake in Rose Lake, and we have not found an association. The appeal is space and privacy on acreage.
Ask us whether any recorded covenants apply to a specific address, who maintains each road, and whether the home is on public sewer or a septic system. For more amenities nearby, compare the Lake Murray neighborhoods below.

Home Prices
Rose Lake homes range from the 1970s to the 2000s and sit on lots from about two to five acres, so price depends heavily on the home's age and condition, its acreage, and extras such as outbuildings or pools. We don't publish a single neighborhood average, because one number hides those differences.

Waterfront Homes
Rose Lake is not a waterfront neighborhood. It is not on Lake Murray, so you won't find lakefront lots, lake views, or shoreline rules here. Rose Lake is not a waterfront neighborhood. Despite the name, we have not found a community lake, and the neighborhood is not on Lake Murray. A few properties have their own ponds, so ask us about any pond or creek on a specific lot.
If you want to be on the water, tell us and we'll show you the lake neighborhoods that are. If a specific home's lot looks like it touches water, ask us and we'll confirm exactly what it is before you make an offer.
One thing to know: the county flood map shows most Rose Lake homes in the minimal-risk zone, but one home on Rose Lake Road is in a mapped flood hazard area and another is in a moderate-risk area. Flood exposure varies by address, so ask us to check the flood map and insurance requirements for any home you're considering.
Lake Murray Access
We haven't found a community dock, boat ramp, or slip tied to Rose Lake, so plan on launching from a public ramp or a marina. Our Lake Murray boat ramps and access guide covers public launch options around Lake Murray.
If you're counting on a specific way to reach the lake, we'll confirm it before you make an offer.
