BERKELEY LAKE

Berkeley Lake, a portrait of tranquil, Southern living for those lucky enough to call it home, has roots in the children of local families that grew up seeking repose beside the lake each summer.

Once the lake was established in the early 50s, tiny red roofs of fishing cabins and boat houses began dotting the shores and Berkeley Lake became a lesser-known retreat, drawing fishermen and their families. It was only a matter of time before the lake was recognized for its appeal. Builders flocked to the area, Peachtree Industrial was paved and Berkeley Lake became a city.
