The Happy Homes Team will serve as your guide deep into the neighborhoods of this growing north Georgia city.

Country Club of the South

Over the last few decades, this neighborhood has shown itself to be one of the best neighborhoods in Alpharetta, GA. The community boasts just over 1,600 residents, each with access to the many amenities and attractions on the property.

And if you are an avid golfer, this neighborhood is situated along a course of a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design. This nationally renowned course boasts of native Georgia trees that have matured along beautiful fairways, helping to make it one of the most attractive courses in the southern United States.

The 24-hour security gives residents layers of privacy protection, as well as maintaining the high level of exclusivity that Country Club of the South has built a reputation for holding.

Windward

Windward earned the distinction of being named the “gem” of northern Atlanta by the Georgia Senate. Constructed around the gorgeous Lake Windward, the neighborhood consists of many home styles, ranging from $400K to $4M. Windward hosts multiple neighborhood parks, a challenging golf course, and is close to the area’s major employers and shopping districts. As an added benefit, it is also home to the Windward Lake Club, an exclusive club for tennis and swimming enthusiasts. It’s the perfect place for those who want to stay active without traveling outside the neighborhood.

Echelon

A recently established neighborhood, Echelon is a mid-sized neighborhood that is host to an estimated 450 homes. As with many of the luxury neighborhoods in Alpharetta, Echelon was constructed around beautiful waterways, giving many of its residents breathtaking views of one of its two lakes. The Echelon Golf Course is the perfect on-site recreational amenity, giving residents and members access to a course recently ranked #1 in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

But golfing and lake views aren’t the only draw to Echelon. The neighborhood is close to several equestrian facilities, helping the area live up to its reputation as part of “horse country.”

Hopewell Plantation

Just north of Alpharetta is the Hopewell Plantation. This luxury neighborhood was first established in 1991, its first homes erected by Atlanta Custom Builders. Hopewell Plantation holds less than 70 estates currently, though it does slowly grow with new construction.

Hopewell Plantation offers its residents the ultimate privacy, the sprawling grounds of each estate bordered by scenic tree lines. Living at Hopewell Plantation gives you the quaintness and quiet of country living within a closely-knit community.

Hampton Hall

One of the best neighborhoods in Alpharetta, GA, for families is Hampton Hall. With recreational amenities like tennis courts, a swimming pool, and pocket parks, Hampton Hall is sure to help keep your children active and outdoors within the confines of this fun and vibrant micro-community.

The Hampton Hall denizens boast that it is “more than just a neighborhood. It’s a lifestyle.” Those who find themselves at home here will delight in the annual holiday traditions, Thursday Night Football parties at the clubhouse, and other organized events for the entire family.

The recently renovated clubhouse hosts numerous events for the neighborhood residents throughout the year and is the perfect place for unwinding after a long week. Hampton Hall is also close to some of the best schools in Alpharetta and only a quick trip to the historic downtown and local shopping and restaurants.

Shepherd’s Pond

A smaller neighborhood, Shepherd’s Pond still has plenty of amenities for its residents. The neighborhood pool is a great way to cool down in the Georgia summer heat and the perfect way to relax after a basketball game on one of the neighborhood courts. If tennis is your game, you won’t have to travel far from home to enjoy your favorite sport.

This picturesque neighborhood offers community members a safe and serene living space while still being a short drive to all the wants that city life has to offer. Upscale restaurants, retail shopping, and the downtown nightlife of historic downtown Alpharetta are only minutes away!
