Sunset Point
The best water for your money!
Sunset Point nestled on 1100 feet of waterfront next to the Lonnie White Bridge Boat Ramp is not the typical subdivision on Lake Wedowee.
It is a community reminiscent of neighborhoods 20 years ago, where children can be seen playing, and the families do more than the obligatory hand wave as a neighbor passes by.
"We do things as a neighborhood here," Beth Sollie, one of the 20 property owners calling Sunset 
Point home, said. "We already knew two of the families here, but the events we have had, allowed us to make many new friends."

Sunset Point consists of 33 lots with a mixture of waterfront and off-water properties, but the homes are not common for this area. Park Model homes line the way, and it could be described as a trailer park on first look. But, the homeowners will tell you it is so much more.
"We are a great lake community, and I see this more like a Maine fishing village than a ‘trailer park,’" Mike Sollie said. "We all know the stigma of ‘trailer parks, but this isn’t even close to your typical trailer park."
The development came to Lake Wedowee in 2003 and continues to evolve as more people call it home. David and Tammy Sweet of Peachtree City, Ga. were the first homeowners at Sunset Point and have more than enjoyed every minute of it. "Sunset Point is the best personal investment we have ever made," Tammy said. "It’s affordable, neighborly and definitely family oriented."
Celebrations and neighborhood gatherings are common at Sunset Point. There is an annual Fourth of July neighborhood party, and its common for gatherings on porches any given weekend from Spring to Fall.
"I tell people that my husband’s house is in Montgomery and my house is here," Alicia Hernandez said. "I love to visit the Caldwell’s porch and they have become my second family. We have been to their other house and they have come to visit us in Montgomery. We even celebrated Christmas with them this year.
"That’s what Sunset Point is about for me. I love everything about this place." Alicia’s husband Francis, an architect, couldn’t agree more. This is the place we want to escape to when we feel like quitting our jobs," he said. "Everything seems better here: my job, my family, my life."
Donna Carter another homeowner describes Sunset Point to her friends as her personal slice of heaven. "It is great medicine for me," Donna Carter said. "I can really relax when I am over here."
