Edenton sits tucked in Northeast Cobb, Georgia, just off Shallowford Road and Wesley Chapel Road in Marietta, where quiet streets and sidewalks run through a gated 55+ active adult community. There are about 26 to 30 townhomes, built around 2017 by Edward Andrews Homes, with homes measuring around 3,000 square feet, each offering three to four bedrooms, two to three-and-a-half bathrooms, and roomy two-car garages with garage door openers, so you'll have space and comfort without all the fuss. The layouts often put the primary bedroom and bath right on the main level for easier living, and the homes show off concrete siding and stone accents outside, giving them a sturdy, clean look. The HOA takes care of lawn care, roofing, trash pickup, and general upkeep, so it's what folks call "lock-and-go" living, meaning if you want to travel or keep things low-maintenance, that's an option.
Inside, you'll usually find high ceilings, ceiling fans, smart home features, and big walk-in closets, with kitchens that offer eat-in space, kitchen islands, pantry walk-ins, and a view toward the family room, which makes it easy to both cook and be with company. Owners enjoy private yards, patios, and fenced exteriors, so you can relax in some peace. There are community features like a pocket park, outdoor fireplace with cozy seating nooks for neighborly chats, walking paths, a game room, a fitness room and spa, and a library for quiet reading. Residents like to join in scheduled daily activities, resident-run programs, arts and crafts, and card games, giving the place a laid-back, friendly feel.
Services include assistance with dressing, bathing, meal preparation and dietary needs, medication management, and help with daily living activities, tailored for anyone who needs a hand getting around or getting things done. A 24-hour call system ties you to experienced staff, who are ready for emergencies or health concerns, and you're close to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, Weiss ENT, and other care providers. Edenton gives special attention to those who aren't able to walk on their own, offering support for non-ambulatory individuals, and has accessible floor plans with grip-accessible doors and entrances. The community has street lighting, sidewalks, and quick access to local shopping like Merchant's Walk, The Avenue East Cobb, and parks like Harrison Park, Mountain View Aquatic Center, Sope Creek Trail, and nearby golf courses.
The association's fees cover the basics, with a one-time initiation charge and a monthly HOA fee, and you get basic utilities like electricity, natural gas, and high-speed internet included. The townhomes are part of the Edenton Homeowners Association, and the community is zoned under Cobb County, with amendments like Z-57 (2015) and Z-108 (2000) shaping the development, plus a daycare at 811 Lecroy Drive and a self-storage facility at 2925 Gordy Parkway. There's a special property at Fox Hollow Parkway where ducks are allowed, with some rules made easier. The homes are built to last with composition roofs and cement siding, and you'll find laundry rooms on the main level, no pool, but plenty of outdoor space.
Most folks here look for a simple, comfortable lifestyle with plenty of help when needed, easy upkeep, and space to host friends, so Edenton keeps things worry-free without being flashy.
