Interest Groups

While Savannah Lakes Village is not an age-restricted retirement community, it’s a fact that a majority of our members are retired or semi-retired. Many residents have an intense interest in outdoor activities or other interests, and they also have ample time to connect with other like-minded people.

We believe the experiences that make life richer are magnified when shared.
