Community Layout And Architectural Origins
Originally developed in 1968 on 122 acres by Tom Cousins of Cousins Properties, Cross Creek was planned with an expansive country club atmosphere. The property features 92 two-story mid-rise buildings that house a total of 936 homes. Over the decades, the community transitioned from its early apartment design to privately owned condominiums and townhouses. Floor plans across the property include one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts to accommodate different household sizes. Many individual residences have been updated over time to include sunrooms, walk-in closets, granite finishes, hardwood floors, and stainless steel appliances. The entire residential enclave remains gated, preserving quiet, tree-lined parkways and mature wooded grounds around its housing.
Neighborhood Amenities And On-Site Dining
Cross Creek was intentionally designed around recreational lifestyle amenities that remain a central draw today. An 18-hole par-three golf course winds through the wooded property, complemented by on-site ponds and lake scenery. Residents also have access to tennis courts, three swimming pools, and a dedicated health club. The neighborhood clubhouse overlooks both the golf course and pond, providing a central gathering spot for the area. Located at the clubhouse just outside the community gates, Cross Creek Cafe offers public dining, a bar, and banquet facilities managed by Sharon Vrahatis since 1997. These extensive grounds provide an active retreat along Peachtree Creek without leaving the property.
