Abbey Springs and Geneva National are both private gated golf communities near Lake Geneva, but they differ in a key way: Abbey Springs is directly on Geneva Lake with a private beach and boat slips inside the community gates. Geneva National is inland near Lake Como with golf course views rather than Geneva Lake views. Abbey Springs golf access is tied to community membership. Geneva National’s golf club is a separate entity from the HOA and can be joined without owning property in the community.

Abbey Springs real estate includes single-family homes of varying sizes throughout the community and condominium and attached units. Properties include those with golf course views, lake views, or both. The community has been developing long enough that there is genuine variety in what comes to market.
