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 1,205 square feet, two bedrooms, two baths, an attached two car garage and is priced at $189,900.  A model in the middle of the pricing scale is the Pine Spring with 1,415 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 $224,000.  

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.   At this writing, only models are open; there are no homes for resale (this community is brand new).  Deaton Creek stretches across 545 acres and will eventually have 1,250 homes.  Call 770-967-6366 for more information.

As with all Del Webb developments, amenities are excellent and provide a resort-like atmosphere;  this community's centerpiece is its sprawling but gorgeous and 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.

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 30 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.
