White Plains is widely considered the "peaceful side" of Georgia's Lake Country, offering a blend of natural lakeside living experience as well as farmland and multi-acreage homes. The area features more gated neighborhoods, freestanding estates, and private acreage. It appeals to buyers who prioritize privacy, generous lot sizes, and a lower-traffic on-water experience over high-density amenity lists.
White Plains is a historic, small-scale city located in the southeastern corner of Greene County, Georgia. Incorporated in 1834, the town is traditionally said to have been named for the distinct white, sandy soil found throughout the area. It offers a peaceful, rural-suburban atmosphere that stands in quiet contrast to the more densely developed parts of the county.
White Plains is frequently associated with the eastern side of Lake Oconee. It is known for a slower, more private lakefront lifestyle characterized by quiet coves, mature trees, and natural settings. Recent roadwork has made it easier for the residents of White Plains to access shopping, schools, restaurants, and other parts of Greene County; however, it has always been just a short boat ride away from the Ritz-Carlton.
