The Overlook at Old Atlanta

The Overlook at Old Atlanta sits on Old Atlanta Road in Suwanee, Georgia, and is a gated 55+ retirement community with both detached single-family homes and ranch villas, developed by Southwyck Homes and Jim Chapman Communities, and though the homes are now sold out, the neighborhood still offers a lot for seniors looking for quiet, independence, and a support system if needed, with homes featuring three or four bedrooms, outdoor living spaces, covered entries, and options like secondary bedrooms on the main floor, expansive bathrooms, and custom closet systems, plus some of the properties come with unfinished basements, and garages for two cars. The community itself is known for its thoughtful design including walking trails that connect directly to Chattahoochee Pointe Park, a community dog park, a garden where neighbors can socialize and grow plants, two lighted tennis or pickleball courts, an outdoor pool, a 2,500-square-foot clubhouse with gathering rooms, a fitness center, outdoor fireplace, and many outdoor common areas for quiet walks or planned group events, which makes it easy for residents to stay active or just enjoy conversation.
