The Orchards Group | Atlanta Active Adult Builders

One of the leading North Atlanta active adult builders is the The Orchards Group. Building since 1998, The Orchards Group has built 16 communities in North Metro Atlanta. These neighborhoods are a favorite with active adults looking to downsize and are popular with retirees and professionals alike. Orchard communities can be found in North Fulton, Cherokee, Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties. All communities include clubhouse and pool with numerous activities to be involved in. Many of the communities are gated.

The homes are ranch patio style with everything on one level.  2 Car garages are standard on all homes.  Some homes will have patios.  Homes are 2 and 3 bedrooms with sunrooms. Floorplans and appointments have evolved over time as with all good builders.  Some of the present communities being built now include bonus areas over the garage for guest suites, office space, or easy access to storage.

All Orchard communities are small friendly neighborhoods where you will find friends gathering at the clubhouse. There active adults can be found out strolling morning and evenings, enjoying a dip is the pool, or just visiting on a neighborhood bench.

    We need general information on how these communities work.

    Which ones are in the Roswell/Alpharetta area or north of there?
    Do they all have a pool & community building that occupants can use for Bridge, etc. parties, etc.
    Are there home owners monthly dues and if so, how much?
    Does the company take care of the yards around each home.

    We just need general information on just what these “orchards” are all about

    Thank you for any information you can give us.

      Hi Tom, thanks for your inquiry about the Orchards communities. These neighborhoods were built by the same Atlanta builder during the last decade and are all very similar in size and floorplan offerings as we describe in our post. They all have outdoor pools and a clubhouse that residents use for Bridge, parties and other activities as you mention. The Orchards of Roswell, Crabapple, Hopewell and Sweet Apple are in the Roswell area west of GA 400, the Orchards of Jones Bridge is in Roswell east of GA 400, the Orchards of Windward are in Milton/Alpharetta further north and east of GA 400 and there is another newer neighborhood further north in Forsyth County. Homes generally sell in the mid-200,000s with several available now in different communities. Homeowners monthly fees are generally around $250/month, varying some by neighborhood and cover all landscaping, exterior maintenance and insurance, garbage service, termite, upkeep of clubhouse and pool and reserve fund. Hopefully this information is helpful. As Active Adult specialists, we are happy to show you these homes and others and help you find the right home as you transition into the Active Adult lifestyle. Please feel free to call us at 404-314-8129 or email at info@redhotatlantahomes.com to discuss further.
