Because Lake Rabun is easily reached from Atlanta, the lake is benefitted from that city's rapid growth. Lake Rabun has become a second home to some of the most wealthy and politically connected individuals in the state of Georgia. Although Lake Rabun has experienced a huge housing boom due to leased lots by the Georgia Power Company, most home owners are only summer weekend residents. Due to the small size of the lake and strong home owners association, and powerful board members, the lake has resisted many attempts to further commericalize and potentially damage its quaint appeal. Lake houses regularly sell for more than $2 million, making it among the most exclusive lakes in Georgia.
