Pontoon boats, sun sets, bass tournaments and wholesome community living… you found one of the best keep secrets in the Atlanta area! 

In the 1940s, the community of Lake Jodeco was part of an 800 acre residential development project by Atlanta dentist, Dr. Walter Spivey. The lake itself was created in 1947.  Its name was derived out of the Jonesboro Development Corp., an organization formed by Dr. Spivey and several associates. Our homeowners association was formed in 1969, and the deed to Lake Jodeco was transferred to the association's ownership in 1975.

The mission of our Lake Jodeco Homeowners Association is to encourage, promote and foster the preservation and restoration of wildlife, fish and natural resources. We will maintain and operate the Lake for fishing and other recreation for its members.

"You can set your watch by the beaver coming home at the end of the day or by the two blue herons meandering along the shore."       -Megan Sellers, second generation resident

"We like the pace down here. And I just love that when I get off a plane, I'm 20 minutes from home."     - Dave Klepinger, resident

"It was always my dream to retire and live on a lake," he says. "Water is just so relaxing and peaceful."   -Jim Carter, resident

"No matter what we are doing, we meet on the dock to watch the sunset.  It's like being on vacation every day."   -Mary Lou Smith, while smiling at the mother goose that nested in a planter on their dock.
