Age-targeted · Lake Lanier proximity · Buford · I-985 access · Gwinnett County
Sunset Preserve is an age-targeted community in Buford with proximity to Lake Lanier — the same lake that anchors Cresswind Lake Lanier in Gainesville. Buford’s Lake Lanier access is via I-985 to the southern shoreline — a different experience from the Hall County northern shore communities but the same 38,000-acre lake.
Buford offers a significant price advantage over the Hall County Lanier communities. Cresswind Lake Lanier (Hall County, Gainesville) averages in the $400K–$600K range with HOA of $339/month. Sunset Preserve in Gwinnett County offers Lanier proximity at generally lower land costs. The tradeoff is that Gwinnett County’s ~0.92% effective rate is higher than Hall County’s ~0.90%, and the Buford shore area is different from the Gainesville/Lake Lanier golf corridor.
