All properties have a private driveway, a one-car garage, and a covered front or back porch. Four to six homes are clustered together in each building. Exteriors feature vinyl siding and brick.

Georgia:
Hernando de Soto of Spain traveled to this area in 1540, but the English had a stake here, too. A general, James Oglethorpe of England, created a haven for English debtors in the area in 1733, and he defeated Spanish invaders in 1742.
Georgia was a Confederate stronghold during the Civil War. It suffered tremendous damage when General Sherman of the Union Army burned Atlanta and then conducted his March to the Sea in 1864, resulting in the capture of Savannah.
The largest in the Southeast, Georgia has seen a lot of growth in the last couple of decades. Atlanta, the capital city, is a transportation center and communications hub, and it is from where goods are distributed to much of the surrounding region.
A leader in paper and board products, Georgia also produces textiles, processed chicken, chemicals and apparel. A few of the important agricultural products are soybeans, cotton, corn, tobacco, peaches and eggs. Georgia also grows more peanuts than any other state. Half of the world supply of turpentine and resins are made from Georgia's pine trees.
Wesleyan College in Macon was the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women, and in 1945 Georgia was the first state to lower the legal voting age from 21 to 18.
Major tourist spots include the National Cemetery, Andersonville Prison Park, Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, the Little White House where President Roosevelt died in 1945 (Warm Springs), the giant Confederate Memorial at Stone Mountain (the largest sculpture in the world), the Cumberland Island National Seashore and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.
What is the Difference Between an Age-Targeted Community and an Age-Restricted Community?
An age-restricted community is a development that meets HUDs guidelines for senior housing, which states that the housing must have at least one person who is age 55 or better in at least 80% of the housing units. For developments with an age-restriction of 62 or better, all residents must meet the age requirement. Age-targeted communities do not have to adhere to HUD guidelines and cannot discriminate on the basis of age. They usually market to empty nesters and baby boomers but must accept residents of all ages, including families with children.
