Homebuyers fleeing crowded urban life during the pandemic found reprieve in Atlanta’s suburbs, and are delving into many alternative neighborhood options. The Providence Group of Georgia, a premier Atlanta homebuilder and developer, and its joint venture partner East Jones Bridge River Holdings, LLC has put a whole new spin on this type of community with their master-planned community called Waterside. Situated along the shores of the Chattahoochee River, the vision of Waterside is to provide multiple housing options that promote inter-generational living, setting the standard for those looking for a true age-in-place community. 

Located one mile from The Forum on Peachtree Parkway, Waterside’s initial phase of development focused on single-family detached homes, and two-story front entry townhomes and three-story rear-entry townhomes. Now the gated community has their unique one, two, and three, bedroom condos with private garages and no shared corridors hitting the market. These homes range from 1,500 – 2,500 SF all on one level, with open concept designs.  

Waterside offers an amenity rich, low maintenance lifestyle along the shores of the Chattahoochee River.  Construction has just begun on the impressive amenity center which will include a large Clubhouse with fitness center, community pool, pickleball courts, event lawns and a riverside pavilion with firepits that will allow residents to take full advantage of the beauty of this amazing Peachtree Corners location.    

“Waterside is a very attractive option for people who want to be closer to their adult children and grandchildren.  We have a lot of plan options that work for different life stages,” said The Providence Group Community Sales Manager Sheena Martin. “The location along the river is amazing. It’s a walkable community and will have great amenities.” 

A future phase of the Waterside community is planned to include independent living, assisted living and memory care facilities for owners 55 and older.  

Pricing for Waterside condos starts in the mid $400s to the high $500s. Located just off East Jones Bridge Road, Waterside is conveniently located with quick interstate access, as well as shopping, dining, and entertainment venues including The Forum and Peachtree Corners Town Center.
