Talk to a Specialist →Trilogy at Lake Oconee is a resort-style 55+ community by Shea Homes in Greensboro, Greene County — approximately 600 homes on Lake Oconee in the same area as Del Webb Lake Oconee (our confirmed Tier 1 community). Shea Homes’ Trilogy brand is one of the most recognized names in 55+ resort living — alongside Del Webb, Trilogy communities consistently rank among the top active adult communities nationally.
Greene County’s ~0.72% effective tax rate is the lowest of any county with a major 55+ community in the Atlanta market — lower than Forsyth (~0.68% is actually lower, but Forsyth is north Atlanta; Greene County is the lowest in the lake corridor). On a $600K home, Greene County taxes run approximately $4,320/year vs $5,460 in Fayette County (Cresswind Peachtree City) — a $1,140/year gap.
Both Trilogy and Del Webb Lake Oconee are major resort communities on Lake Oconee in Greene County — within a few miles of each other. The key differences: Del Webb is PulteGroup (the largest homebuilder in America), Trilogy is Shea Homes (smaller, more boutique). Del Webb’s resort campus is larger; Trilogy’s community tends toward more intimate social programming per unit. Both have golf and lake access. Both are Greene County at ~0.72% effective.
For buyers choosing between these two, the decision often comes down to: which golf course, which clubhouse design, and which social culture matches your preference. Visit both before deciding.
Lake Oconee is the reservoir created by Georgia Power’s Wallace Dam —19,000 acres, 374 miles of shoreline, in the Georgia piedmont. The Reynolds Plantation complex (now Kolola Springs) is the luxury anchor of the entire Lake Oconee corridor. For buyers who want lake-oriented retirement living — boating, fishing, waterfront dining — Lake Oconee is the serious alternative to Lake Lanier within a 75-minute drive of Atlanta.
