Madeira

Independent Assessment

Madeira's county was specifically investigated because Acworth spans parts of both Cobb and Paulding counties, and consistent evidence was found that this particular community sits in the Paulding County section: Windsong's own site structures the listing under its Paulding County section (windsonglife.com/new-homes/georgia/paulding-county/acworth/madeira), and independent property records for the 1303 Cedarcrest Blvd address confirm a Paulding County parcel and school district. Buyers relying on 'Acworth' alone to infer county should not assume Cobb County for this specific address. Beyond the jurisdiction question, consistent multi-source confirmation was found of Madeira's identity as a genuine, actively selling 55+ community from an established regional builder.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a brand-new, smaller-scale 55+ community from Windsong Properties along the Cedarcrest Boulevard corridor, with easy access to both Acworth's historic downtown and the Paulding County side of the metro, are a good fit for Madeira.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Windsong Properties developed Madeira as an Active Adult 55+ community at 1303 Cedarcrest Blvd, within 15 minutes of Acworth's historic Downtown District. Homes are craftsman-inspired single-family designs with attached two-car garages, open-concept floor plans, and accessibility features, with reported sizes ranging from roughly 1,586 to over 2,200 square feet (with at least one reported floor plan starting from 2,505 square feet). The community is planned for approximately 59 total single-family homes.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

As of the most recent review, available new-construction pricing at Madeira was reported in the roughly $499,000 to $499,820 range; because this is a newer, actively selling community, current pricing by floor plan and homesite should be confirmed directly with Windsong Properties.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Madeira is an actively selling new-construction community; buyers purchasing directly from Windsong Properties receive a builder warranty. As a small, newer community, resale inventory is expected to be very limited as of the last update; buyers considering resale should request recent closed comparables from a local agent.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes in Madeira are located in Paulding County (Paulding County School District per property records for the community's Cedarcrest Blvd address), not Cobb County, despite the Acworth postal city. Buyers should confirm the current Paulding County millage rate and any applicable Georgia homestead or senior exemptions directly with the Paulding County Tax Assessor's office.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Madeira offers a smaller-scale, low-maintenance active-adult lifestyle centered on its clubhouse and walkable streetscape along a freshwater stream, with craftsman-style single-level homes designed for easy living.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Madeira sits at 1303 Cedarcrest Blvd on the western side of Acworth, in the Paulding County portion of the city, within about 15 minutes of Acworth's historic Downtown District and convenient to both the Cedarcrest Boulevard corridor and I-75.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Windsong Properties markets Madeira directly as an 'Active Adult 55+ Community.' This is consistent with the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) framework, which requires at least one resident age 55 or older in at least 80% of occupied homes community-wide. The recorded covenants and restrictions have not been independently reviewed; buyers should request the governing documents and confirm current age-verification procedures directly from the HOA or Windsong Properties.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

As a newer, smaller community (roughly 59 homes planned), Madeira's amenity package is more modest than larger master-planned 55+ communities in the region, centered on a single clubhouse rather than a broader recreation campus. Because it is still in active sales, pricing, available floor plans, and lot selection will change over the course of build-out; buyers should confirm current availability directly with Windsong. Madeira's location straddles a county line area in the popular Acworth zip code (30101), so buyers should independently confirm Paulding County jurisdiction (school district, tax rate, permitting) for any specific lot under consideration.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Madeira is Windsong Properties' newer, smaller counterpart to the builder's larger, more established Echols Farm community in nearby Hiram. It also sits close to Cedar Crest Village, an older (built roughly 2014-2018) 104-home active-adult townhome community also along the Cedarcrest corridor, and within the broader west-Cobb/Paulding cluster of Traton Homes 'Courtyards'-branded communities in Acworth and Marietta.
