About Windermere
Windermere is one of Forsyth County's largest master-planned communities, built around a golf course and an unusually complete amenity package. Its defining characteristic for buyers and sellers alike is range: Windermere contains everything from mid-priced family homes to substantial custom homes, spread across many sub-sections built over roughly two decades. That range makes Windermere a natural entry point for families moving into the Lambert and South Forsyth school attendance areas, and it makes accurate pricing dependent on knowing exactly which section and vintage a home sits in. Buyers are typically families relocating from inside the Perimeter or from out of state, drawn by schools, amenities and a shorter commute up GA-400 than most people expect.

FAQ
Living in Windermere
Dues generally cover swim and tennis amenity access, common-area maintenance and community programming. Golf is a separate optional membership.
Windermere is generally served by Haw Creek Elementary, Lakeside Middle and South Forsyth High. Assignments vary by section and should be confirmed with Forsyth County Schools.
Windermere was built over roughly two decades across many sections, so lot size, build vintage and finish level differ substantially between sections. Section-level comparables matter more here than in smaller communities.
It is one of the most common landing points for families relocating into South Forsyth, largely because of the amenity package, the schools and the range of available price points.
