Community Focus: Cross Creek
By Bill Forrest, Realtor
Just looking at these three photographs you would think that you are far outside the perimeter at a golf and tennis retreat in the foothills. Close but not quite so.
Cross Creek is a hidden gem located in the heart of true Buckhead with-in the exclusive 30327 zip code. The feeling you get living here is that you are far removed from the city. Actually you are in the heart of it, just minutes to everything. This is achieved by having 122 lush acres on Peachtree Creek, just off I-75 between Moore's Mill and Howell Mill exits; Just off Peachtree Battle.
'Buckhead's Best Kept Secret' the History...
This community is not a secret but so many have not heard of it especially those that have not grown up in Atlanta. Ask anyone that lived in Buckhead in the late 70's or early 80's and with a sheepish grin they will say "Oh Yeah I Know Cross Creek." This place was the place to be if your were single and it was the life of the party in Buckhead. There are stories that are too funny to believe that actually happened here. I am told that they are all true. That is what happens when you mix Delta Pilots, Braves Players, Flight Attendants, TV Personalities, and a host of other crazy fun people with generous servings of alcohol from the Cross Creek Cafe.
Now those risque days of dancing on the bar, wearing next to nothing are long gone but the vibe here is far from stoic. Cross Creek is well under way with a renaissance that is exciting to be part of and watch. It is a great place to live that offers a vibrant social and resort lifestyle in the heart of the city. Past the Cafe, Beyond the Guardhouse and the friendly gate attendants, there is a major exterior renovation taking place and the second phase is almost complete. In addition, over the last year or so all of the tennis courts and two of the three pools have been completely rebuilt. As part of that the pools are being converted to salt water from chlorine. The golf course has had some renovations too. This walking course is unique to Atlanta. It is a par three executive short course with the longest hole being 165 yards. Residents only pay $7 for 18 holes.
