Located on Hickory Road convenient to Interstate 575 and Georgia Highways 400 and 92, The Orchards of East Cherokee is The Orchard Group’s first entry into the Cherokee County housing market.
Two distinct villages, one with single family homes and the other with ranch condominiums, are being offered in the 140-home neighborhood. The single family homes are priced from $270,000 to the mid $300’s, and the ranch condominiums are priced from the $210’s to $325,000. There will be 48 detached single family homes and 92 ranch condominiums with all homes offering two to four bedrooms. Thus far, 21 home sales have been recorded in the neighborhood.
