"Country Nestled in the City"

Exquisite homes priced just above half- to the cool low-millions, neighboring access to Chattahoochee River National Park, and a stone’s throw from upscale shopping at the Galleria and Cumberland—all converge to make Whitewater Creek Community the ideal destination for ‘the good life’ chasers.

Without a doubt convenient access to the Chattahoochee is the most compelling draw. The idea of having a national treasure in your own backyard is like hitting the jackpot on the way to cashing your lottery ticket! Fishing, canoeing, white water rafting, scenic walking trails and the rugged beauty of the river itself offer residents more outdoor bliss than seems fair to the rest of us.

Whitewater Creek’s proximity to I-75 and 285 is close enough to numb the pain of a high-traffic commute (well at least a little). It is situated alongside Mt. Paran and Northside Woods communities, near Powers Ferry and Paces Ferry Roads. Schools in the area include Lovett, Trinity, Westminster, Pace, Maria Montessori, Jackson and Holy Spirit Preparatory, making travel between good schools and work pleasantly doable.

So move over Bora Bora, Waikki and all other exotic get-aways. If you’re looking for something truly special in the way of nature, convenience and prestige, Whitewater Creek definitely rises to the occasion.

"Ride the wave!"

It’s hard to know where to begin with this multi-faceted area near Marietta. For my health minded friends, I could start with a description of the splendor of the ‘great outdoors’ and its obvious proximity to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation facilities. The ‘Hooch’ (short for ChattaHOOCHEE), as Atlantans like to name it, has lovely wooded areas, its whitewater rafting, biking and hiking trails, and quiet, family-oriented picnic areas. It is a fabulous area for a romantic Sunday stroll, or an exciting whitewater rafting ride.

Or, if you are one of my out of town girlfriends, Whitewater Creek is a mere breath away from the best shopping and restaurants that the Atlanta Metro area has to offer, like the recently updated Cumberland Mall and its sister, the Galleria Mall near Interstate I-75. For my highbrow, jet-set ‘ladies who lunch’ friends, Lenox Mall and Phipps Plazas with high-end eateries are certainly convenient.

As you venture away from the Hooch River, very quickly you become aware that you are in a hotbed of the financial center of Atlanta. For businesspeople, they can find many major corporations and employment centers in the high-rise buildings that flank the area. And for residents, you can find a nice mixture of single-family and multi-family apartments and homes. Great Mt. Paran Schools are also nearby and come highly-recommended. If you don’t mind the horrendous Friday afternoon traffic, check out Whitewater Creek.

It has so much to offer. Check it out if you can!
