Who's Moving to North Georgia?

Our brand-new 55+ neighborhood, Encore by David Weekley Homes at The Retreat, offers newly-built, low-maintenance ranch-style homes, allowing you more free time to enjoy doing what you love – from walking or biking, playing a few rounds of golf at a nearby course, or relaxing poolside at The Retreat clubhouse, and so much more.
