Poplar Place

Poplar Place is a gated 55+ active adult community in Dallas, Georgia, developed by Fischer Homes and nearing build-out as of 2025. Construction began in 2020 with plans for approximately 135 single-story ranch-style patio homes, and the community is now at its final stage — typically just one move-in ready home remaining at any given time before the community fully sells out. The Designer Home Collection (also marketed as the Patio Home Collection) includes six ranch floor plans — Edenton, Amelia, Kiawah, Wilmington, Maxwell, and Baybridge — ranging from roughly 1,501 to 4,543 square feet with two to five bedrooms, two to four-and-a-half bathrooms, and attached two-car garages. All homes are single-story, and floor plans emphasize flexible living spaces, open-concept layouts, walk-in closets, and covered patios. Optional upgrades include split bedroom plans, kitchen islands, morning rooms, separate dining rooms, built-in appliances, extended patios, and fireplaces. Base pricing has generally ranged from the low $310s to around $410K depending on plan and finishes. The community is gated and centered on a recently opened Amenity Center, which includes a clubhouse with a fitness center, flex room for activities, and outdoor living space. Outside, residents have access to a pickleball court, bocce ball courts, and scenic walking paths ideal for strolls and jogs. A full-time activities director helps program the social calendar. The HOA handles lawn care, landscaping, and common area maintenance — the central selling point of the low-maintenance, lock-and-leave lifestyle Fischer Homes markets here. Location is one of Poplar Place's strongest assets. The community sits off Poplar Road in Paulding County, just across the Cobb County line near Powder Springs and Hiram, with quick access to GA-120 E and US-278 for direct routes into the Atlanta metro. Daily needs are minutes away — Kroger, Publix, and Sam's Club are all close by, along with Metromont Shopping Center along Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway and a dense cluster of restaurants along Charles Hardy Parkway. The West Cobb Aquatic Center provides year-round swimming, and charming historic downtown Dallas is about a 15-minute drive. Healthcare options include Wellstar Paulding Hospital, Tanner Medical Center, and Higgins General Hospital. Outdoor enthusiasts have Sara Babb Park, White Oak Park, Powder Springs Park, Kennesaw Mountain, and the Silver Comet Trail within reach, and golfers can choose from The Frog Golf Club, Chapel Hills Golf Club, Pinetree Country Club, and Marietta Country Club. Zoo Atlanta and the broader Atlanta cultural and sports scene are an easy drive down US-278.
