Cresswind Twin Lakes is a community for people aged 55 and up, located at 118 Hartwell Court in Hoschton, Georgia, in the Twin Lakes master-planned area about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta, and the place sits not far from the Blue Ridge Mountains, Downtown Atlanta, Lake Lanier, and Athens, so everything's close by for a day trip or visit, and when you walk around, the first thing you'll notice is how everything's built around making it easy to meet your neighbors and join in activities if you want, since the community's got a bunch of clubs, two lakes where you can fish or paddle a kayak, a dog park, walking trails, tennis courts, a community garden, and a clubhouse, which always has something going on like classes, parties, social gatherings, and fitness programs because the full-time Lifestyle Director keeps everyone engaged with the "Set Yourself FREE" program that focuses on Fitness, Relationships, Education, and Entertainment, and people can join group classes, pick up pickleball since the pickleball center's the largest in Georgia, spend time at the indoor and outdoor pools, use the hot tub, sit in the lounge or library, and take part in whatever's happening in the spacious ballroom or demonstration kitchen.
The homes have lots of choices, either attached or detached, and sizes run from about 1,300 to over 2,500 square feet, with floorplans offering two to five bedrooms, and the houses include modern touches like an open-concept layout, walk-in pantry, big kitchen islands with extra seating, coffered ceilings, oversized showers, walk-in closets, smart home features, and some have rooms like a study, den, or bonus room, plus options for a sunroom, a golf cart garage, screener porch, basement, or an extended patio, and there's a Design Studio on-site, so folks can pick out their own finishes and details, from cabinets to lighting, with help from the builder's staff, because the idea is to personalize as much as possible, and structural options like a four-foot garage extension or finished bonus room with a full bath are also available.
The clubhouse is something people talk about, as it has an indoor pool, big gym with a group fitness room, an art room, a coffee bar, library, kitchen, and ballroom designed to host community events, clubs, and gatherings, and there are outdoor spots too, such as two lakes, a party lawn, sports courts, nature trails, a community garden, and resort-style pool, so you can be as active as you like, and the community's pet friendly, with space for dogs and places to walk.
Homes often have a primary bedroom on the main floor, high ceilings, ceiling-high windows, a patio or porch, and features like a fireplace and modern laundry room, and there are floorplans like the Almond with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths at around 2,058 square feet, or larger homes with space for guests or family. People buying a house here get support from the beginning through tours to housewarming, so decisions are easier, and the staff helps with builder offers and choosing home details, while there's also a community portal to give residents and buyers information and resources.
Schools nearby, like West Jackson Elementary, Osborne Middle, and Mill Creek High, have above average ratings, though this community's mainly for people sixty and older, and the neighborhood's kept safe with gated access. The place is golf cart-friendly too, so folks can get around easily, and there are lots of meeting rooms, gathering spaces, and spots to sit outside and visit.
Cresswind Twin Lakes has won awards for its community and clubhouse, and the homes show attention to comfort and options for multigenerational living. The goal's to offer a place where people can stay active, make connections, and customize their home to fit how they want to live, all in a peaceful and secure environment.
