Mount Vernon Towers is a 55+ high-rise condominium community with 300 units spread over 10 stories, found near the intersection of Mount Vernon Highway and Johnsons Ferry Road, making it easy to get to GA-400 or I-285, and you can even walk to the MARTA public transit, so when you need to get anywhere, you have options and won't feel stuck. The condos come in a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, and some units offer updated open kitchens with butler's pantries, marble countertops, custom cabinets, luxury vinyl plank flooring, washers and dryers, and even balconies with city or pool views, including rare larger "Double Units" that go up to 1,520 square feet. The building's secured entry and gated community features help residents feel safe, and you get secured or covered parking, with extra spaces available for guests, so people don't have to search for parking when they visit.
Many folks appreciate the air conditioning throughout the building, elevator access, wheelchair-accessible rooms, and showers with grab bars, along with cable or satellite TV in the units, which helps make living there more comfortable. Pets are welcome within certain weight limits, so residents don't have to leave a furry friend behind, but you'll want to check which animals are allowed. The community has a variety of amenities including a swimming pool, fitness center, beauty salon, laundry rooms close to many units, and common areas to gather and chat, and there's a restaurant-style dining room in the building that serves regular, vegetarian, kosher, no-sugar, and low- or no-sodium meals with daily specials, following a menu to help with specific medical needs.
Mount Vernon Towers has a private dining room for small groups and special events, and for guests or short-term visitors, there's a guest suite available. The community is run by a homeowners association (HOA) that's pretty active, organizing weekly social activities and keeping documents like bylaws and resident manuals well-maintained, with the resident portal making it easier for people to pay bills online. Condo owners can choose to lease their places if they don't want to sell, and there's a $9,000 condo allowance for new residents to use as needed on their new home.
Healthcare services on-site include the Wellness & Personal Care Center, which helps with medication management, diabetic care, incontinence needs, and non-ambulatory care, and is suited for folks who might need a little extra help for rehab or post-surgery recovery, especially when a full-time in-home caregiver isn't required or available. Staff help with housecleaning and maintenance, and there's a concierge service to answer questions or help with day-to-day needs.
Transportation is reliable, with both complimentary and paid options including a bus service carrying residents to shopping, banks, and medical appointments, so if you want to get groceries or run errands, you won't need to drive. The area around Mount Vernon Towers is full of places to enjoy life, like Trader Joe's, the Performing Arts Complex, Veterans Park, restaurants, and small shops, and there's quick access to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area if you like to walk or sit outside for a bit of fresh air. Rita Malone is the current director, and the environment tends to be warm and welcoming, with most people feeling it's a place where independent seniors can enjoy privacy, company, and support, all tailored to their needs and interests.
