The Village at Deaton Creek is a gated, 55+ community
by Del Webb, one of the leading
active adult retirement community developers in the
country. This particular master-planned neighborhood
is located in Hoschton, Georgia, an affluent small town
(population 1,100) in a rural setting of green rolling
hills about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta. Deaton
Creek is elegant and
offers lovely, new detached and attached homes (town
homes) in a number of price ranges, and it was the 2008
“Gold Award” winner for “Best of 50+ Housing"
from the National Association of Home Builders.

There are thirteen different floor plans/model homes, each with a
different price, from which to choose; while the majority (eight)
are priced above the national average, five of the models are priced
below the national norm or meet it, so living here can equal the
national average, although more expensive homes are readily
available. The least expensive residence is the attractive
Kenwood; it is a town home, has 1,217 square feet, two bedrooms, two
baths, an attached two car garage and is priced at $169,000. A
model in the middle of the pricing scale is the Pine Spring with
1,414 square feet, two bedrooms, two baths and a two car
garage. This model is designed so that the master suite,
breakfast nook and kitchen area all look out onto the backyard
rather than onto the street. It is priced at $195,000.

The most expensive home is the beautiful Morningside Lane, a three
bedroom, 3.5 bath residence with 2,600 square feet, a formal living
and dining room, a gallery with a butler's pantry, a huge kitchen
with a center island, a walk-in pantry, hardwood floors and a two
car garage. The covered lanai can be converted to a sunroom or
screen porch. This home is priced at $332,000.
All of the residences are on one level, although some of the more
expensive homes have the option of a basement. Exteriors are
constructed of brick, stone and Hardiplank siding.
Deaton Creek stretches across
545 acres and will eventually have 1,250 homes. Call 770-967-6366

As with all Del Webb
developments, amenities are excellent and provide a resort-like
atmosphere; this community's centerpiece is its sprawling but inviting clubhouse named "The Club at Deaton
Creek." It has 35,000 square feet, indoor
and outdoor pools, a billiards room, a grand ballroom, a gourmet
kitchen and an 8,000 square foot state-of-the-art fitness
center. There are also nine miles of wooded walking trails,
covered pavilions, parks, tennis courts and bocce ball courts.
This clubhouse is the largest of its kind in Georgia, is set against
the pretty Mulberry River and gives residents a place to gather,
relax or stay active and fit. On staff is a full-time
activities director; typical weekly events include museum trips and
wine tastings. Hoschton is also
home to the 18 hole, 72-par, public Reunion Golf Club (club dues
apply).
Deaton Creek is ideally located
so that residents may enjoy the best of two worlds. Hoschton
offers small town charm in an
idyllic rural setting in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains;
bustling Atlanta, just 40 minutes away, provides all kinds of
adventures, from world class dining to theater outings to major
sporting events. Residents also enjoy nearby Lake Lanier and
have peace of mind knowing that excellent medical facilities,
including Emory University Hospital, are just down the road in
Atlanta. Crime is also practically non-existent in Hoschton.
Summer temperatures can reach the 90s, and the
area receives 4 to 5 inches of precipitation each month, some of
which can be snow during winter months when temperatures are in the
30s and 40s. Humidity averages 70% and the sun shines roughly
60% of the time.
