Crescent Pointe at Great Sky

Independent Assessment

Consistent confirmation across the builder's own site, Atlanta-area real-estate press, and directories shows that Crescent Pointe at Great Sky is a genuine, actively building David Weekley Encore community and the designated 55+ section within the larger Great Sky master-planned development. Reported HOA fee figures varied modestly across sources (roughly $180 to $305 per month), which is attributed to different listings capturing different home types or reporting periods; buyers should confirm the current fee directly. Because Crescent Pointe sits within a larger all-ages master-planned community, buyers should clarify which amenities are exclusive to the age-restricted section versus shared community-wide.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a smaller, more intimate age-restricted community (92 homesites) embedded within a larger, fully amenitized master-planned development are the best fit for Crescent Pointe at Great Sky. Its combination of a dedicated 55+ clubhouse plus access to Great Sky's broader resort-inspired amenities suits buyers who want both an age-restricted social scene and a wider range of community-wide recreational options.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Crescent Pointe at Great Sky is developed by Encore by David Weekley Homes as the 55-and-older neighborhood within the larger Great Sky master-planned community in Canton. Sales opened around September 2023, and the 92-homesite community offers six LifeDesign floor plans, ranging from one- and two-story ranch designs of roughly 1,582 to 2,756 square feet with two to four bedrooms and two to four bathrooms. As of the last update, the community is reported to have several residences under construction, with many homes available for quick move-in.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

New-construction pricing is reported ranging from $461,740 to $751,948 depending on floor plan, lot, and selected options. As an actively building community, buyers can purchase new construction directly from David Weekley Homes; buyers should request current builder pricing and available quick-move-in inventory given the community's active phase.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

As an actively building community with sales having opened in 2023, buyers can purchase new construction directly from David Weekley Homes, with a builder warranty and current finish standards, alongside a limited but growing resale market as earlier-phase homes turn over. New-construction buyers should confirm current available homesites and quick-move-in inventory, while resale buyers should request recent closed comparables.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Cherokee County property tax at the county's current millage rate. Cherokee County offers a senior school tax exemption for homeowners 62 and older who have held a homestead exemption in the county for at least five years; starting in 2025, this exemption is reported to have removed a prior $500,000 assessed-value cap, providing a full exemption from school Maintenance & Operations and Bond taxes for qualifying owners. Buyers should confirm current eligibility and application requirements directly with the Cherokee County Tax Assessor's Office (application deadline reported as April 1).

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Crescent Pointe at Great Sky combines a dedicated, smaller-scale 55+ clubhouse and lifestyle-director programming with access to the broader Great Sky master-planned community's resort-inspired amenities, giving residents both an age-restricted social core and a wider range of walking trails, pools, and court sports shared with the larger community.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The community is located within the Great Sky master-planned development in Canton, the seat of Cherokee County, with convenient access to I-575 and Canton's downtown shopping, dining, and entertainment district. Canton's location in the northern Atlanta metro places residents within a reasonable drive of both Atlanta and the North Georgia mountains.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Crescent Pointe at Great Sky is treated as a legally age-restricted 55-and-older community, consistent with Encore by David Weekley Homes' brand-wide description of its communities as age-restricted, and consistent with its marketing as the 55+ lifestyle section within the larger, all-ages Great Sky development. The specific recorded Cherokee County deed or covenant language for this community has not been independently pulled. Buyers should confirm current occupancy rules and age-verification procedures directly with the HOA.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because the community remains under active construction, buyers should expect ongoing nearby building activity as remaining homesites sell out. As the age-restricted section of a larger master-planned community, buyers should clarify HOA fee structure between the Crescent Pointe sub-association and the broader Great Sky master association, since reported fee figures varied across sources. The community's relatively small size (92 homesites) means a more limited roster of exclusively age-restricted amenities compared to larger single-purpose 55+ communities in the area.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within the Cherokee County active-adult cluster, Crescent Pointe at Great Sky is distinguished by its embedded position within a larger, fully amenitized master-planned community, offering broader recreational access than smaller standalone Cherokee County communities like The Orchards of East Cherokee or The Courtyards at Redbud Lane, though with a smaller dedicated age-restricted homesite count (92) than either of those. Buyers wanting a bigger surrounding community with more amenities to share may prefer Great Sky, while those wanting an exclusively age-restricted environment may prefer a standalone 55+ community.
