650 homes, $249/mo HOA, sold out and resale only, 5.0/5 resident rating, connected to 100+ miles of Peachtree City golf cart trails, Fayette County. The most desirable resale 55+ address in the Atlanta market.
Cresswind Peachtree City was the top-selling active adult community in metro Atlanta for 2018 and 2019. It sold out in 2023. Resale homes average approximately $638,000 — the highest average resale price of any 55+ community in the Atlanta market. The 5.0/5 resident rating reflects genuine community quality, not just amenity scale.
The specific differentiator is Peachtree City’s 100+ mile golf cart path network. Cresswind residents can drive golf carts to restaurants, shopping, movie theaters, and other neighborhoods throughout Peachtree City. This is unique in the Atlanta market — no other 55+ community offers this degree of golf cart mobility outside the gates.
Fayette County grants qualifying residents aged 65 and older a 50% exemption on the school portion of property taxes. School taxes represent approximately 67% of the total Fayette County tax bill. The math: on a $600K Cresswind home, school taxes run approximately $7,800/yr before exemptions. The 50% school exemption reduces this by $3,900/yr. For residents 65+ with Georgia taxable income under $15,000, the full school exemption applies — potentially reducing the tax bill by $7,800/yr.
