Lake Keowee's east shore is the Pickens County side of the lake — closer to Greenville, GSP airport, Clemson, and Pickens/Easley. The east shore is anchored by two Cliffs communities (Springs and Vineyards) plus mid-scale gated and non-gated lake inventory.
For buyers with Greenville or Clemson connections, the east shore is the natural target.
